Blue could be the colour in Killarney feature for McCreery

If there is an above-average filly in the opening-day feature at Killarney, the Listed Cairn Rouge Stakes (6.50), Colour Blue will certainly not be winning but she looks guaranteed to run up to her mark, is performing at the top of her game right now, is a previous course winner and has a perfect draw in stall three for a filly who likes to race prominently.

Assume is rated 100 and could prove a class apart but she has made only three racecourse appearances and the hustle and bustle of today's contest could come a little early in her education. Similar comments apply to the three-year-olds Emergent and Earring, both of whom have the potential to win at Listed level but might not be streetwise enough.

Colour Blue has bundles of experience. She ran in a €50,000 fillies' handicap at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend and performed creditably, finishing third to Penny Pepper having looked like she might win a furlong out.
