FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having caught the eye when third at Leopardstown earlier this month, ANVIKA can score for trainer Sheila Lavery. Held up towards the rear on that occasion, the five-year-old mare made stylish headway entering the straight, keeping on nicely to reach the frame. With both of her previous wins having come on a sounder surface, the daughter of Dandy Man may have just struggled to pick up close home. Back on better ground here, she looks a leading candidate. Spanish Temptress, who finished fourth in that aforementioned contest, is another with every chance. Trained locally by Richard O'Brien, this race is likely to have been a target for some time. Dual course and distance winner Amemri also merits respect.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards fillies only (80 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
