Prairie Dancer (5/4), Call Me Sweetheart (9/4), Himalayan Beauty (10/3), Supershock (7/2), Ebasari (13/2), Artistic Work (14/1), Business Speak (25/1)

HIMALAYAN BEAUTY left her maiden form at 2 yrs behind when runner-up on her handicap bow at Gowran 16 days ago and she should go well again off the same mark. Call Me Sweetheart came out on top in a tight finish in a maiden at the Curragh and remains with potential now handicapping, while Ebasari caught the eye at Gowran and may still have more to offer.
