Chrysalism¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 92| D

11/2

Proven on soft ground having won a nursery in August and also successful in a claimer. Possibly flattered penultimate run when close fifth in Listed company on the AW and may have found 1m beyond her at Thurles last time.

Form: 414153

In The Present¹⁰¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 85| BF

11/2

Trio of placed efforts but disappointing when last seen in July. May have been an issue as not seen since and now tries 7f for the first time so stamina to prove.

Form: 33625

Azila^b1³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: D K Weld| OR: 83

3/1

Better effort latest when runner up in 1m maiden on soft. Blinkers now replace the visor from that day and with stamina proven and no issues on soft ground should again run her race and looks a major player.

Form: 5552

Feminista^b1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: J S Bolger| OR: 73

6/1

Put a couple of poor efforts behind her when staying on into sixth in similar event over 1m here a week ago. Blinkers now added and a repeat of that would put her in the mix.

Form: 32806

Flower Garland²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: M P Sheehy⁽⁷⁾| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 73

9/2

Was entitled to need her run at Dundalk last month after a four months break and should be fitter here. Yet to race on softer than good but may be more to come now handicapping for top yard.

Form: 056

Llewellin Miss¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Murphy| OR: 73

9/1

Best effort was on debut on soft ground at this trip. Has failed to build on that but makes nursery debut today under top apprentice so market move would be of interest.

Form: 5700

(5)

Point Reyes^b1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 73

11/2

Similar level of form in maidens to date and now handicapping and encountering soft ground for the first time. Blinkers now added and needs to spark a bit of improvement.

Form: 96745

Forecasts

Azila (3/1), Flower Garland (9/2), Chrysalism (11/2), Point Reyes (11/2), In The Present (11/2), Feminista (6/1), Llewellin Miss (9/1)

Not a strong race for the money and with AZILA having taken a step forward on soft ground last time she looks the safest option. Feminista returned to her best form here last weekend and a repeat of that would make her a threat while Chrysalism looks best of the rest.
