5/2

Promising type. 15/2, second of 7 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. That form looks solid (third won next time) and she has more to come. Leading claims.

Forecasts

Delightful (1/1), Foniska (5/2), Pink Sorrel (3/1), Drummin Life (9/2), Savethelastdance (17/2), Skyquake (11/1), Fuli (80/1), Golden Spangle (100/1), Lady Allessia (200/1)

Hard to get away from the promising trio of DELIGHTFUL, Foniska and Pink Sorrel, who all have better days ahead of them. Aidan O'Brien's regally-bred filly could be the one to be with this time having taken a big step forward at Gowran.
