First reserve, placed in five of her 12 starts, better chance than most on current form

Placed three times for Ger Lyons, recent sixth of 16 at Gowran provides encouragement

Second reserve, twice fourth in maidens last year, hard to make a case on handicap form

Six-time winner has been regressive on the AW and on turf lately; makes little appeal

Modest form in maidens, hard to be sure what will prove to be her optimum trip
5 (5)	Hey Kameir Bay J:Hugh Horgan(7) T:G Ahern	J:Hugh Horgan(7) T:G Ahern	134	h	98/5-0	56	71	-	109d	—	—	0	1.9	24.75/1	100 1%
