Botti Planning Irish Raid

Euro Charline (GB) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) looks set for another cross channel journey as trainer Marco Botti eyes a tilt at the G1 Matron S. at Leopardstown Sept. 12. The Team Valor owned filly was a beaten favorite when fourth to Watsdachances (Ire) (Diamond Green {FR}) in the GI Beverley D. S. at Arlington recently having previously chased home Amazing Maria (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) in the G1 Falmouth S. at Newmarket. “I’m really pleased with the way she came home as she had quite a tough race on soft ground,” reported Botti, before adding. “The ground went against her and the race did not pan out well, either, as she made the running and set good fractions. I think she could definitely have finished closer if things had gone her way on the day. Now we are considering the G1 Matron Stakes in Ireland, as long as the ground is to her liking.” Euro Charline could be accompanied on her trip by stable-mate Tac De Boistron (Fr) (Take Risks {Fr}). Botti is keen to run the dual Group 1 winner in the G1 Irish St. Leger at The Curragh Sept. 13, however unlike Euro Charline the 8-year-old’s participation hinges on the ground being soft.
