Run well in both starts so far, finishing second in C&D maiden earlier this month, should build on that effort and have a big say in this.
Run in maidens at the Curragh and Fairyhouse so far over 6f and well held both occasions, just appears to be requiring some time to learn this game and could have more to offer before too long.
Mastercraftsman filly cost €35,000 as a yearling and was denied ½L on second start at Leopardstown recently. Entitled to go very close and yard coming back into form is another plus.
Super Saver filly cost $32,000 as a yearling, racecourse bow here for a yard that has been subdued recently but remains worthy of a market check.
Kodiac filly set for debut appearance, looks to be stable second string on jockey bookings and yard not finding winners as easy to come by as had been the case early in the season.
Footstepsinthesand filly finished midfield in Curragh maiden over 6f earlier this week on debut, can improve on that showing now and 5lb claim helps.
Epaulette filly. Half-sister to several winners, with breeding suggesting perhaps she'll be better when going beyond the mile in time. Yard not noted for sending out 2yos.
Captain Gerrard filly beat only one rival home on recent debut at Fairyhouse (6f, good) and needs to improve on that run, something she might well be capable of doing.
Tagula filly picked up for €3,500 as a yearling, resold as a €100,000 2yo. Half-sister to several winners and commands respect ahead of debut run for a yard in scintillating form lately.
Best effort in three maidens to date came over this trip at Limerick last month on good to firm ground, finishing 1L third of 11. Back up in trip now and capable of having a say in matters.
Famous Name filly with decent pedigree, she didn't show a lot on debut over 6f at Navan and has been given a break since. Hood is added now and should be capable of better.
Inexpensive yearling out of Roderic O'connor, looks best watched on debut with chance she'll want further than this given time.
Frozen Power filly likely to be booked for minor role on debut, unless market vibes are strongly suggesting otherwise, she is best watched here.
Finished 8L fourth of 12 in 7f maiden at Roscommon on second start last month in soft ground. Has to improve significantly on that effort if hoping to score here.
Debut at Roscommon in 7f maiden (good to yielding) brought with it a 22L defeat, beating only one rival home. Plenty more needed and doesn't appeal coming into this race.
Forecasts
Ball Girl (11/10), Bella Figura (3/1), Emerald Eye (7/1), Iron Blue (10/1), Outside Inside (12/1), Beach Wedding (14/1), Bonnington Lass (25/1), Shecanrally (25/1), Camino Song (33/1), Famous Affair (33/1), Africa Prado (50/1), Nancy D'Alton (50/1), Brass Button (50/1), Whiskey Treat (66/1), Powersville (66/1)
Bella Figura improved nicely on second start at Leopardstown recently and is entitled to have a big say in this with the Harrington team now starting to motor again following something of a lull in proceedings. Iron Blue has already posted a solid effort over C&D as well and it won't be a surprise if the Raven's Pass filly gets off the mark soon. Beach Wedding and Emerald Eye are others with form to merit consideration but this might go the way of BALL GIRL. Resold for €100,000 as a 2yo, she represents the flying Lyons team here and is very much one to note on debut.
