Appears to be improving with every run the Mastercraftsman filly is a half-sister to Australian Grade 3 winner Francis of Assisi and Listed winner Look At Me should be up to this standard.

14/1

Cheap purchase Footstepsinthesand filly out of a Saddler's Wells mare. Will need to show plenty of improvement from debut run at Dundalk on the AW in May when finishing down the field beaten over 9L.

Realtog²⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: P Tallis

100/1

Nothing to get excited about in a couple of career starts over 6f but could be of interest now stepping up in trip given his breeding line.

Forecasts

Erin (2/1), Teologia (5/1), Zarena (7/1), Rayda (9/1), Akua (10/1), Luminist (10/1), Madame Delavanti (14/1), Miss Louise (14/1), Fascinating Spirit (16/1), Rise Over Cloud (25/1), Vocal Queen (28/1), Loughcallow Lady (33/1), Smart Lass (50/1), Little Camacho (66/1), Balletto (66/1), My Lark (100/1), Realtog (100/1)

Mastercraftsman filly ERIN is a half-sister to Australian Grade 3 winner Francis of Assisi and Listed winner Look At Me and should be up to taking care of the opposition in this contest. Second of nine earlier this month at Bellewstown the filly can lead the way from potential improver Zarena from the Dermot Weld yard and interesting newcomer Teologia.
