Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Halpin| T: J P O'Brien

9/2

Was third of nine runners on her latest run at this course over the extended 1m1f trip on what was her second racecourse start. On the evidence of her last run and her experience, she has strong claims.

7/1

Has had four starts now and on her latest outing she was third of eight runners at Cork (1m2f). Stepping down slightly in trip here which should help. Each-way claims.

Sarah Jessica²⁶

6/1

Has yet to hit the frame in her three starts, however, her latest showing was her best so far when she was fifth of 15 runners at this course over 1m. Open to more improvement so one to watch.

Has been runner-up on three of her four starts so far. Was second behind a smart filly at Cork last time over 1m2f. Good chance to break her maiden here.

Forecasts

Sweet Dime (9/10), Jumellea (9/2), Sarah Jessica (6/1), Lighthouse Lady (7/1), Come September (12/1), Angel's Amy (16/1), Gray Matter (20/1), Alice Milligan (33/1), Arctic Blaze (40/1)

SWEET DIME has gone close on three occasions to break her maiden and this looks the perfect opportunity to finally do that. She has the best form in the race and as long as there is not an unexposed filly who impresses, she is the one they have to all beat. Jumellea ran well when third here last time and has to be considered, while Lighthouse Lady has the experience now and if she improves again, can go close.
