Very disappointing in five starts for Jim Bolger, failed to show any sort of improvement over a mile on the AW at Dundalk in February on first outing for this trainer. She has major improvement to find.

Born To Sea filly who ran well on debut at Leopardstown, losing only in a photo, and since run credibly in Listed Navan contest, both over 1m2f. Race fit and boasts solid credentials for this contest.

7/1
Nicely-bred filly, somewhat surprising the step up in trip to 1m2f last time at Dundalk didn't bring some improvement. Just the two runs behind her however and certainly not one to give up on just yet.
Second of two for the trainer in this contest and, like Aurora Butterfly, is out of Born To Sea. No surprise to see her go well on debut and a notable jockey booking too. Standard set by the aforementioned Aurora Butterfly is decent however.

Forecasts

Aurora Butterfly (1/4), Taste The Salt (6/1), Detailed (7/1), Adelena (66/1)

Verdict

Just the four contenders but a promising maiden for the fillies nonetheless. It may come down to a shootout between the two daughters of Born To Sea with preference for AURORA BUTTERFLY given she has already demonstrated her talent on the track in two runs. She was not disgraced in Listed company 11 days ago and with fitness on her side can take this. The newcomer Taste The Salt is given plenty respect and with Heffernan booked to ride, market support would be heeded. Detailed didn't progress as hoped on her second run but the suspicion remains that she is capable of a good deal better.
  1. Aurora Butterfly
  2. Taste The Salt
  3. Detailed
