FormscanBy Michael Graham - EMIZA (10) attracted support on her debut over 1m at Naas and made headway in third approaching the final furlong before dropping to fifth in the closing stages, so this shorter trip could reap dividends. She is a nicely-bred sort who is a half-sister to a Listed winner in France. It is heartening that her sire's progeny have a good record on all-weather surfaces. Punica Granatum has some notable form in the book particularly when just pipped by a short head in second in a valuable fillies' handicap at the Curragh in May. That run has been well franked by the winner. Trek Home hasn't been beaten overly far in his last four outings and tries 7f for the first time.
