Beaten 8L in a 6f good ground maiden at the Curragh last month, she's been well held on all three starts to date but retains the scope to improve.
Raven's Pass filly whose dam was winner up to 7f, including 2yo success over 6f. Represents top yard and has jockey in excellent recent form to assist. Respected on debut and one to note in betting.
Zoffany filly was beaten 5¼L over 5f (good to firm) on debut at Cork five days ago, steps up significantly in trip here and improvement could be on the cards.
Raven's Pass filly cost €38,000 as a yearling is nicely bred and comes from yard with 20 per-cent strike rate (2/10) over the previous fortnight. Merits a look in the market.
Thewayyouare filly, dam stayed 1m, trainer not noted for 2yos and remains 0/10 with juveniles over the previous 12 months.
Arcano filly has plenty stamina in breeding, yard don't tend to have many 2yos and looks best watched on debut unless betting is to the contrary.
Well beaten in three maidens thus far, though she did go slightly better last time at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when sporting first-time blinkers (retained) and was only beaten 3½L in fourth of 18. Could improve on that showing.
Street Boss filly cost $65,000 as a foal, has winners on both sides in her pedigree and should have few problems with this trip on debut. Very much respected for leading yard here.
Has run to similar level in two maidens so far at Cork (5f, good to firm) and Listowel (6½f, good) and will need to come forward on those efforts to stand a chance of a breakthrough here.
Daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar cost €30,000 as a yearling but she made a fairly tentative debut over 6f (good) at Fairyhouse this month when 12th of 13 and beaten more than 13L. Plenty more needed here.
Zoffany filly made just a fair start at Fairyhouse (6f, good) on the first of this month, though she wasn't give a particularly hard time. Has scope to do better for that experience and is respected in this line-up.
Forecasts
Zalzar (13/8), Emerald Eye (4/1), Navajo Dreamer (6/1), Realtin Geal (6/1), Iron Blue (7/1), Aqtaar (10/1), Amenette (12/1), Rhythm Of Love (16/1), Smiling Eliza (25/1), Moonstone Rose (25/1), Leedle Lady (50/1)
Those that have run do not set an exacting standard to aim at, so there seems every chance this will go the way of one of the promising newcomers. Realtin Geal is likely to go well on debut for the Bolger team but the nod goes the way of AQTAAR, a Raven's Pass filly who ought to be well suited by this test on debut and who also hails from a top yard with a jockey that is riding on top of his game currently. Zalzar has plenty scope for more based on her Fairyhouse debut while Navajo Dreamer showed better form last time out for the addition of blinkers and could easily run into the money here.
