Galleria Borghese¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 86| D

15/8

Winner at Naas in May. 9/2, very good second of 7 in handicap at Listowel (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. No easy task on these terms, but she is probably capable of better still.

Form: 0612

Show Of Stars²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 99| D

1/1

Lightly-raced winner. Creditable second of 5 in minor event (2/1) at Gowran (9.4f, soft) 24 days ago, well positioned. Should make a bold bid to go one better here.

Form: 41-542

(3)

Trevaunance²⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 100| D

11/4

Thrice-raced winner. 11/2, 2½ lengths fourth of 9 to Concert Hall in Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on final 2-y-o start. Sights lowered on this seasonal reappearance and she's greatly respected.

Form: 414-

Forecasts

Show Of Stars (1/1), Galleria Borghese (15/8), Trevaunance (11/4)

TREVAUNANCE's 2-y-o form stacks up well and, provided all is well following an eight-month absence, she could prove too strong for her two rivals. Show of Stars lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at Gowran last time and is feared greatly, while it would be dangerous to underestimate Galleria Borghese, for all that she looks up against it on these terms.
