Guinness Irish EBF Fillies Maiden

3YO plus | 1m 4f | 19 Runners | Turf

(3)

Acanto¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Joshua Halford⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade

66/1

Well held in a couple of turf maidens 4 months apart. Upped markedly in trip but handicaps after this likely on the agenda.

Form: 54

(17)

Capolinea¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: P Magee

80/1

Harzand filly who was very green when last of 5 in maiden at Killarney (1m, good) on debut 17 days ago, missing break. Upped markedly in trip but needs more time.

Form: 5

(14)

Galileo Springs^t⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Leigh Roche| T: M Brassil

50/1

Modest winner at 17f over hurdles last year who ran to a similar level when sixth of 13 on debut in this sphere in a Roscommon maiden (10.3f) in May. Probably one for handicaps.

Form: 6

(16)

Pampar Lady¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell

10/1

Fairly useful hurdler who's been finding her feet over fences this season. Didn't shape too badly on Flat debut when second of 9 in maiden at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 11 days ago, albeit firmly put in her place by the winner.

Form: 2

(5)

Run For Mahler^t²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Caffrey| T: C Byrnes

4/1

Fair bumper winner who arrives having posted a career-best effort when doubling her tally over hurdles at Killarney (2½m) just over 2 weeks ago, rallying to lead dying strides. Never dangerous on Flat bow here on Wednesday.

Form: 7

(10)

Shemiyka^v1²⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Davis| T: M O'Callaghan

80/1

Achieved a little more than on debut in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 8 in maiden at Gowran (9.5f, heavy) 9 months ago. Has switched yards ahead of this return and a first-time visor is applied.

Form: 95-

(2)

Study Of Motion²⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Darragh O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: W C O'Brien| OR: 55

80/1

Bits of promise in qualifying runs but failed to meet market expectations when seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) when last seen in December. Sold very cheaply later that month and best watched on return.

Form: 9/737-

(11)

Thisistheway¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen| T: Yvonne Latta

14/1

Bumper/fairly useful hurdle winner who ran a screamer in the Galway Hurdle on Thursday.

Form: 5-0

(8)

Cosmetic^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 82

9/4

Progressing gradually, second of 12 in maiden at Fairyhouse (1½m, good) earlier in the month. Every chance she can go one better.

Form: 97-552

(1)

Elusive In Mayo

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: T Gibney

150/1

Elusive Pimpernel filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 6f scorer Kendaya and 7f winner Urban Soul. Dam unraced.

(4)

Emily Estherfaye^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery

150/1

Phoenix of Spain filly. Dam unraced. Wears hood. Betting should guide expectations.

(6)

Essential Comedy³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: C O'Connell

50/1

Essential Quality filly who couldn't match debut form but wasn't given a hard time either when fifth of 12 in maiden at Fairyhouse (1½m, good) earlier in the month. One for handicaps after this.

Form: 65

(9)

Ocean Fire²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Alan Persse⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Cody

150/1

Crystal Ocean filly who looked badly in need of the experience when eighth of 9 in maiden at Limerick (12.3f, good to firm) on debut just under 3 weeks ago.

Form: 8

(7)

Pleased³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 79

9/2

Camelot filly who fetched 500,000 guineas as a yearling and matched previous form despite looking a bit ungainly under pressure when fourth of 12 in maiden at Fairyhouse (1½m, good) earlier in the month, flashing tail. Not out of this.

Form: 324

(12)

Porters Corner^p1⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey

9/4

Galiway filly who was pretty clued up and ran to a fair level when third of 9 in maiden at the Curragh (1½m, good) on debut a couple of months ago. First-time cheekpieces go on and she's open to progress.

Form: 3

(13)

Stellar Moment²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ronan Whelan| T: John O'Donoghue| OR: 78

6/1

Took another small step forward when second of 9 in maiden at Limerick (12.3f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Not discounted.

Form: 632

(18)

Trumph²⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington

66/1

Sent off 25/1 and could manage only eighth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) on debut. Off 9 months and upped markedly in trip.

Form: 8-

(19)

Possum⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Reserve 1| T: Mrs J Harrington

50/1

Australia filly who shaped as if in need of the experience when eighth of 9 in maiden at the Curragh (1½m, good) on debut a couple of months ago. RESERVE.

Form: 8

(15)

Mapa^t⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Reserve 2| T: S Lavery| OR: 51

80/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs and again ran poorly when tailed-off fifteenth of 17 at Fairyhouse (1½m, good to soft) 7 weeks ago. RESERVE.

Form: 4-60300

Forecasts

Cosmetic (2/1), Porters Corner (9/4), Run For Mahler (7/2), Pleased (9/2), Zadawa (9/2), Stellar Moment (11/2), Pampar Lady (10/1), Thisistheway (14/1), Possum (25/1), Essential Comedy (50/1), Galileo Springs (50/1), Acanto (66/1), Trumph (66/1), Capolinea (100/1), Shemiyka (100/1), Mapa (100/1), Study Of Motion (100/1), Elusive In Mayo (150/1), Emily Estherfaye (150/1), Ocean Fire (150/1)

A huge field but only a handful of these make any serious appeal, ZADAWA selected to make it third time lucky with this step up to 1½m sure to be in her favour. A first-time hood goes on, and she can get the better of Cosmetic, who is progressing gradually and found just one too strong at Fairyhouse earlier in the month. Porters Corner, Pleased and Stellar Moment can fight out minor honours.
