Out of Declaration Of War, she made a decent start when runner-up in 6f maiden at Naas 13 days ago on good-to-firm ground. No shock to see her improve for that run and has clear credentials for this contest.

5/1
A Big Bad Bob filly, she's a sister to useful 2yo 1m winner Boyfriend Brian, stable are going well of late though perhaps this will be a sharp enough opening test. Watch market.

A €3,000 yearling, this Camacho filly is out of a small yard and may do better for the debut run.

5/1
Second Ballydoyle contender in this line-up, she was disappointing on debut last month at Navan over this trip having gone off joint-favourite, beating only two of 14 rivals home. Should be capable of much better and not one to write off yet.

14/1
Acclamation filly who costs 40,000gns as a yearling, she was disappointing over 6f on debut at Naas early this month. May improve, but needs to do so markedly to win here.

16/1
Fast Company filly cost €15,000 as a yearling, would only be of interest on this debut run if the market speaks in her favour.

33/1
An inexpensive Frozen Power filly, she's a sister to 2yo 6f winner Invincible Gunner. Trainer doesn't have many runners and not noted for producing one first time, may be seen to better effect in time.

Ran fair race at Naas earlier this month over 6f, finishing in midfield. May do better though probably going to settle for minor role at best.

Forecasts

Actress (1/3), Could It Be Love (5/1), Brian's Bride (5/1), Goodthingstaketime (6/1), Yolo Star (14/1), Lynn's Memory (14/1), Philadelphia Story (16/1), Well Why Not (33/1), Camacho Dancer (40/1)

Verdict

Actress is likely to be popular in the betting here following a decent showing on her debut at Naas, however her trainer hasn't had things all his own way this weekend and saw some hotpots turned over at this track yesterday. She's got clear claims, but is priced accordingly. At a bigger price, stablemate Could It Be Love may leave her debut run behind and is capable of being involved but it might be worth siding with GOODTHINGSTAKETIME, who represents a trainer with an excellent overall strike rate in his debut season and has scored with 40 per-cent of his 2yos (2/5, with one placed) so far. Brian's Bride is also considered though this trip may prove too sharp.
