Andalusian Star^p1²¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien

8/13

Invincible Spirit filly. 14/1, offered something to work on when seventh of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) on debut in July. In good hands and likely she can do better now embarking on 3-y-o campaign. Respected with cheekpieces now enlisted.

Form: 7-

Get Your Groove On³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R P Cleary| T: Peter Maher

150/1

Twice-raced filly. 250/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) 33 days ago, weakening early in the straight. Can only be watched.

Form: 0-0

Layoftheland²⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S P Davis| T: Sean Davis

100/1

Once-raced filly. 80/1, showed a bit when tenth of 14 in maiden at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) on debut back in June. Absent since though and low-grade handicaps likely to be more her bag in due course.

Form: 0-

Mm Dragonfly³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: N G McCullagh| T: M Halford & T Collins

7/1

Once-raced filly. Sixth of 14 in maiden (10/1) at this course (8f) on debut 33 days ago, keeping on without being unduly punished. Type to do better, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 6

Pepper Noir¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Whearty⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell

11/4

Outstrip filly who improved on debut form when second of 13 in maiden at this course (1m) 12 days ago, no match for winner. Rates a live player with a repeat.

Form: 6-2

Posh Maisie^t²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S B Kelly| T: J P Murtagh

11/2

Dandy Man filly. 33/1 and tongue strap on, eighth of 10 in minor event at this course (6f) on debut 29 days ago, missing break and never dangerous. That experience ought not to have been wasted on her.

Forecasts

Andalusian Star (8/13), Pepper Noir (11/4), Posh Maisie (11/2), Mm Dragonfly (7/1), Varly (22/1), Waystar (100/1), Layoftheland (100/1), Get Your Groove On (150/1)

ANDALUSIAN STAR appeals on paper and offered something to work on when seventh in a Leopardstown maiden back in July. In good hands and open to improvement, she could be worth siding with to take a step forward on return. Pepper Noir looks a big threat following her second here 12 days ago, with Posh Maisie completing the shortlist.
