Never got competitive at any stage in either of he r previous starts and, despite possessing a pedigree to die for, she looks to be of limited ability.
May have just needed the experience when only fourth on debut at Tipperary. This marked step up in trip will suit this daughter of Makfi and a much more confident display may be in the offering.
Cost just €1,000 and failed to even live up to that billing with two poor efforts so far. May have had an excuse last time but a big leap of faith is required if wading in with support this time around.
Out of a Trans Island mare, who was placed at Group level, but she has made very little impact in her races up to press and is best left alone here.
Improved when upped to a mile at Gowran Park last time out but already has a bit to find with a few of these on official ratings and will be better off back in low-grade handicaps after this.
Cost just €3,000 but is yet to look like being a bargain buy. Tonight's firmer ground may help but she is already exposed as ordinary and others make more appeal.
Sound effort over C&D on yielding ground last month gives her a squeak in this company not that she has proved her stamina will hold out. One to bear in mind if supported in the betting.
Makes limited appeal on the form of her three previous starts needs to improve dramatically for this step up in trip.
Behind Faradays Law (at odds of 100/1) last time out and looks opposable again now she steps up in trip by just over 3f.
Plenty of appeal on breeding and represents an in-form yard. May also do better over slightly further but has been found a weak opening for her introduction to the action.
Hints of stamina in her breeding, so worth a look in the betting. Stable just 1-from-9 at this course and not done any favours by the draw.
Another that makes plenty of appeal on paper as she has an abundance of stamina from her dam's side, which balanced by the speed influence from Rock Of Gibraltar. Interesting if backed but Cork hasn't been too happy a hunting ground just yet.
A 100,000 gns yearling by Sea The Stars, she finished third of four on her debut at Thurles earlier this month. She can build on that but created the impression she may need more time - possibly in a future handicap further down the line.
Cost €35,000 and is related to a number of useful performers. Respected stable does well with its runners at this course but debatable as to whether 10f will suit her straight off the bat. One to watch this time around.
Forecasts
Bee Queen (5/2), Hillcrest Fire (11/4), Faradays Law (9/2), Miss Snossyboots (8/1), Furiosa (12/1), Two For Tea (12/1), Ruby Shoes (12/1), Taste The Salt (16/1), Power Away (20/1), Elzaa (25/1), Likewise (33/1), Cristal Icon (50/1), Cracking Name (66/1), Cinnabar Reds (66/1)
This could be another bit of good placement by Dermot Weld, as he sends BEE QUEEN out at very realistic level. Her outing at Tipperary will have opened the tubes and sets her up nicely for a crack over this more appropriate trip. Furiosa shouldn't be underestimated as she at least has experience of the course and has already proved her stamina will hold out over 10f. Ruby Shoes and Two For Tea also merit a look in the betting in a race that lacks a bit off strength-in-depth.
- Bee Queen
- Furiosa
