Minerva

Jockey: W M Lordan Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 3922

5/6

Comment: Frankel filly cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling; has picked up valuable experience since 4l behind today's rival Little Sure Shot first time out at Leopardstown; well clear of the third when beaten by subsequent Group 3 winner Queen Of Hawaii at Leopardstown; second to a promising stablemate in a conditions race at the Curragh last time.

Kensington Lane

Jockey: G M Ryan Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 9522 OR: 83

9/4

Comment: Has shown maiden-winning potential in her last two races, both over this trip; second to the subsequent Ballyhane Stakes runner-up at Down Royal; made most before overhauled late by subsequent Group 2 runner-up Geryon at the Curragh.

Little Sure Shot

Jockey: G F Carroll Trainer: Henry de Bromhead Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 2

11/2

Comment: Made a fine debut when second to the Aidan O'Brien-trained Moments Of Joy at Leopardstown in June; however, not certain to cope with third Minerva who has shown much-improved form since that initial outing.

Jockey: B M Coen Trainer: J P Murtagh Age/Wt: 2/9-2

16/1

Comment: Seventh foal; half-sister to winners Rajapour (7.5f/1m 2yo inc Listed; RPR 105), Ridenza (Group-placed 7f 2yo; 96), Radiyka (6f; 84) and Raydamann (2m1f hurdle); dam 7f 2yo winner (inc Group 2; 110), out of 1m4f Listed winner.

Luna Mia

Jockey: R P Whelan Trainer: M D O'Callaghan Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 2474 OR: 84

18/1

Comment: Beaten a head first time out at Listowel; was keeping good company (Lady Iman second) when fourth of six in a 6f Group 2 at the Curragh; found 5f inadequate at Goodwood; met trouble in running when fourth over this trip at Naas nine days ago.

Jojo's Legacy

Jockey: J A Heffernan Trainer: Andrew Slattery Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 6

Zebrina

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: G M Lyons Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 58

Bear Right

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 50

66/1

Comment: More likely as a handicap prospect in time judged on her first two starts; trainer has a much more obvious chance with Punica Granatum.

Wingit

Jockey: R Whearty Trainer: Gavin Cromwell Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 00

125/1

Comment: Mid-division at the Curragh on debut; can be ruled out now after finishing in rear at Leopardstown.

Zusanne

Jockey: D W O'Connor Trainer: Gavin Cromwell Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 08

125/1

Comment: Has run in the same two races as stablemate Wingit; both fillies will need to get a handicap mark.

Dancing Saxon

Jockey: D Browne McMonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 030 OR: 77

Comment: Disappointing favourite on debut at Leopardstown (7f, soft) much better when 2l third over 6f at Fairyhouse; mid-field in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas; 77-rated filly is likely to find a few too good.

Punica Granatum

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 42

Comment: E100,000 yearling; fourth foal; prominent until fading late when fourth at the Curragh on debut; chased home the favourite over C&D on her second start.

Slaney View

Jockey: D P McDonogh Trainer: J S Bolger Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 23

Comment: Two early-season runs over 5f; strong 13-8 market leader when runner-up at the Curragh; form has been significantly boosted by the winner Power Blue in landing the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes on the most recent of his five starts; looked in need of further at Cork on second outing.
