So Enjoy²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: P J Smullen| T: J Nash

7/1

£10,000 yearling who produced a career best effort on her third start at Tipperary (dropped in trip) last month when a never nearer 3+L third to Raramauri (5f yielding).

Form: 873

(2)

Stewardess²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J Feane| OR: 63

11/1

Not too far behind Kimono Girl and So Enjoy when fifth of ten to Raramauri at Tipperary (5f yielding) last month, and that was an improvement on her earlier efforts in which she failed to beat a single rival. Others probably stronger.

Form: 085

(9)

Downtown Diva¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Chris Hayes| T: J Davison

16/1

Cheaply purchased, bit did okay on debut at Tipperary when splitting today's rivals So Enjoy and Stewardess, but not so good at Dundalk next time when upped in trip and restless in the stalls.

Form: 48

(11)

Good Marks¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins

16/1

Arcano filly who started at triple figure odds on debut at The Curragh last month (1m). Slightly surprising to see her dropped in trip, but improvement would've been required whatever the distance this afternoon.

Form: 0

(6)

Kimono Girl²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Wayne Lordan| T: E Kent

7/2

Lord Shanakill filly who was unable to get on terms with Raramauri on debut at Tipperary last month, but in finishing runner up came out on top of today's rivals So Enjoy (third), Downtown Diva (fourth) and Stewardess (fifth). Progress anticipated.

Form: 2

(13)

La Novia¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: C P Hoban| T: M Halford

50/1

€10,000 juvenile by Casamento who wasn't overly knocked about on debut at Dundalk last month (6f standard), and should do better with that experience under her belt.

Form: 0

(12)

My Lark¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

50/1

Choisir filly who finished last of nine on debut in a 6f Leopardstown maiden won by Chiara Luna last month. Much more required.

Form: 9

(7)

Powersville¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: N G McCullagh| T: T Mullins

4/1

Steadily improving with each start and ran her best race yet when a shock 50/1 third to Would You Believe at The Curragh (6f yielding to soft) a fortnight ago. A fraction to find with Sunday Smart on earlier form, but respected.

Form: 063

(10)

Tea Roses

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: K J Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: P Martin

40/1

Unraced Roderic O'Connor filly out of Finalstar. Half-sister to 7f/1m AW winner Veil Of Stars. Home-bred and likely wiser with racecourse experience.

Form:

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 25p in the pound

Forecasts

Kimono Girl (7/2), Powersville (4/1), Sunday Smart (11/2), So Enjoy (7/1), Storm Has Broken (8/1), Stewardess (11/1), Good Marks (16/1), Downtown Diva (16/1), Zeb City (33/1), Sagittarius Rising (33/1), Eadbhard (33/1), Tea Roses (40/1), La Novia (50/1), My Lark (50/1), King Rouge (66/1), Carol's Return (66/1)

A minefield for punters with not a great deal of reliable form on which to make a solid judgement. Kimono Girl, So Enjoy, Downtown Diva and Stewardess appear closely matched with most improvement anticipated from the once raced Edmond Kent trained runner. However, with no clear preference, a sporting chance is taken on the Dandy Man filly SUNDAY SMART. She looked in need of the experience when fourth to Brick By Brick at The Curragh last month, and should appreciate today's extra yardage.
