Elmakaya³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld

5/2

Shaped encouragingly from a poor position when seventh of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (1m) on debut 5 weeks ago, producing her best work at the finish. Merits consideration with improvement to come.

Form: 7

Guardian Of Realm^h1¹⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 79| BF

11/2

Well-bred filly who ran to a fair level when placed in a trio of maidens at Dundalk last year. Proved wayward under pressure and collared near the line when runner-up on final outing, but she could benefit from application of a hood on return. Not taken lightly.

Form: 322-

Mai Dahlia^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

5/1

Too Darn Hot filly. Sister to 1¼m-12.4f winner Jujubella and half-sister to useful 1m-1½m winner Ameerat Jumaira. One to note on debut with yard amongst the winners. Wears tongue strap.

Rebel Wave

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery

9/1

110,000 gns foal, €280,000 yearling, New Bay filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Spanish Phoenix and winner up to 7f Confident Star. Sales price increased so she's worth a market check on debut.

Solana Beach²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack

6/1

Shaped with plenty of promise on debut when staying on for second in 7-runner maiden at Gowran (7f) 25 days ago. Appeals as the type to make significant progress with that experience behind her.

Form: 2

Sydney Dollars

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy

4/1

€31,000 foal, €40,000 yearling, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart French/US 9f-12.5f winner Orglandes and 10.7f winner Pittsford. Has a fair standard to aim at on debut.

Totally Puzzled^h1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: H De Bromhead

50/1

Showed ability when mid-field in a 1m maiden at Navan on debut last year but shaped as if amiss when tailed off at the Curragh (1¼m) 6 weeks ago. Hood now reached for.

Form: 6-0

Wedding^p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

9/1

Has shown only modest form in 2 maidens this spring, close up before weakening in the straight when sixth of 10 at Leopardstown (1¼m) a week ago. Cheekpieces applied as she drops back in trip.

Form: 56

SOLANA BEACH was getting the hang of things late on when runner-up at Gowran on debut and she could take a big step forward from that first outing. She is taken to get the better of Guardian of Realm, who is respected with a hood fitted, while Elmakaya could also be in the mix on the back of her promising debut.
