Matilda Picotte^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Colin Keane| T: K P Cotter| OR: 104

4/1

Form: 31-2349

Forecasts

Honey Girl (6/4), Matilda Picotte (4/1), Statement (5/1), Clever And Cool (6/1), Bella Blue Eyes (15/2), Miramis (22/1), Lady Onyx (25/1), Bells On Her Toes (33/1), Dame Kiri (33/1), Spring Feeling (50/1)

HONEY GIRL just holds the edge on form so is taken to go one better than her good Leopardstown second last time out and gain a third success of 2023. Clever And Cool is feared most from the in-form Jim Bolger yard ahead of Statement and Matilda Picotte.
