Coakley expecting Miss Marjurie to shine at York

Denis Coakley says Miss Marjurie is in good shape to run well in next week’s Group One Darley Yorkshire Oaks at the Ebor Festival.

The five-year-old has impressed in two victories in 2015 so far, winning the Listed Daisy Warwick Stakes at Goodwood in May and then also in the Group 3 Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock.

Miss Marjurie is now being primed for the Yorkshire Oaks on August 20 and trainer Coakley is hoping she takes her chance.

He said: “Miss Marjurie seems in good form and the plan is to run in the Yorkshire Oaks. She has done well this season and although this is another step up, we feel that she deserves her chance.

“She has always shown plenty at home so it wasn’t a surprise to us that she has done so well. She is a very capable mare. The track should suit her and good or good to soft ground is ideal so that’s what we are hoping for.”
