In the frame all four runs, good third of 13 in maiden (4/1) at Cork (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Stable having good spell so she must enter calculations.

40/1

Makfi filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful 11f-15f winner Pretty Tough. In very good hands so debutante is worth considering, especially if the market speaks in her favour.

20/1

33/1, green and suffered poor run when thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on debut 11 months ago for Aidan O'Brien. Sure to do better in long term but fitness is a concern here.

Salsa^b³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 85

11/2

Fairly useful filly but she arrives on back of below-form fifth of 10 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, soft) 39 days ago. Back down in trip now and needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Astadash (3/1), Simply A Breeze (7/2), Secret Pulse (4/1), Unknown Pleasures (4/1), Fictitious Lady (5/1), Salsa (11/2), Indian Sioux (16/1), Apricot Rose (16/1), Solene Lilyette (18/1), Moonwalk (20/1), Marchetti (25/1), Impossible (40/1), High Lake (80/1), Al Shomookh (80/1), Bells Of Thyme (125/1), Elegance And Grace (125/1), Effernock Dieubon (200/1)

SIMPLY A BREEZE looks to have been found a very good opportunity to open her account having cut little ice in a Group 3 at Gowran last time. Improving Secret Pulse looks the one to give her most to do, although Astadash and Fictitious Lady are worth considering too.
