13:55 – Joyful Princess
A fascinating maiden. Mint Candy and Amangani are pretty closely matched on their meeting at Gowran Park and they should be in the shake-up again. Its All Peachy showed promise on her debut at Leopardstown and could go well with Colin Keane an eye-catching booking.
Beyond Dreams is a well-bred and interesting newcomer, but my preference is for JOYFUL PRINCESS. The form of her Curragh maiden fifth looks strong and she is open to plenty of improvement. School Of Athens and New Wave are others to consider.
14:25 – Genealogy (NAP)
Runner-up to a better-fancied stablemate on debut over this trip at the Curragh, GENEALOGY (nap) can go one better today. However, Starry Desert and Storm Piece also have major claims on their solid maiden efforts, so the selection won’t get anything easy.
14:55 – Sportingsilvermine
The Denis Hogan yard is in decent form and SPORTINGSILVERMINE is worth chancing to break his duck down in trip, having been too keen over 1m2f last time. Avatar Jet, Gandolfo and Proleek Prince can go well.
15:25 – Star Harbour
It is difficult to oppose STAR HARBOUR. Even though he stays 1m4f, he won over this trip two starts ago and should take this. Akecheta looks like the one who will give him the most to do.
15:55 – Ard Na Mara
The 82-rated Strolling sets the standard here, but she isn’t straightforward, and this drop in trip raises question marks. Vadali looks worth trying at this distance after his run at Galway, and he has claims, too, as does Yes Oui Si, down in trip.
However, the Gowran Park maiden contested by Powerful Hook Head, Coul Dreamer and ARD NA MARA could be the key piece of form and preference is for Jim Bolger’s filly after her excellent effort at the Curragh last time was boosted by the winner at Leopardstown on Saturday.
16:30 – Perfect Poise
A maiden winner over a mile at this track a year ago, PERFECT POISE has run well in defeat at times since but can score again back here. Shavasi might not have stayed an extended 1m2f on handicap debut at Sligo last time and this trip could suit. Sli Na Gealai and Presence can be players, too.
17:00 – Harseva
A wide-open handicap. Jarvis Brook was narrowly denied on his return from a long absence and should go well again off 3lb higher. Church Mountain also shaped nicely last time and he looks well handicapped, but narrow preference is for HARSEVA.
She has run very well on her last two starts and this slight drop in trip should suit. Tartaraghan has place claims if the ground turns soft, Adhuil is worth considering.
17:30 – Finsceal Annie
A case can be made for quite a few of these. Keilah has run well on her last three starts and ought to be in the shake-up again.
Limestone Red comes into this on the back of a sound effort last time out and should go well, as should Simple Endeavour, but her wide draw is not ideal.
FINSCEAL ANNIE gets the nod though. She was arguably a shade unlucky not to win again last time and a 5lb hike may not halt her progression. Wrist Art won a division of this last year and he could go well at a price, as could Tall Story.
