Verdict

The pick of several promising fillies is SHELAKA, who shaped well when chasing home a useful type on her reappearance at Gowran and the return to this trip/switch to handicap company can help unlock improvement. Conversely, Flight of Fancy drops back in trip after contesting a 10.4f listed race at Naas and she is second choice off what looks a fair opening mark. Evening Blossom also merits respect, along with Asian Daze and Sluice, who were the first two home in a handicap here 20 days ago.

  1. SHELAKA (IRE)
  2. FLIGHT OF FANCY (IRE)
  3. EVENING BLOSSOM (IRE)
