She's Ideal (5/4), Hexagonal (4/1), Loingseoir (9/2), Bucaneer's Spirit (5/1), Kakori (7/1), Darkdeserthighway (11/1), Forlio (14/1), Moyassr (14/1), Kashel Spring (33/1), Concert Party (33/1), Phidias Ovation (125/1)

SHE'S IDEAL is thriving at present and having displayed a good attitude to follow up her claiming success for Paul Flynn in a 16-runner handicap at Gowran last week, she's fancied to complete the hat-trick. Forlio can be given another chance dropping in grade on his return to this code, while Darkdeserthighway left the impression she should have won on her most recent outing and also needs considering, for all that she faces a stiffer task on these terms.
