FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Sent off odds-on favourite, ONTARIO was travelling well early in the straight last time at Tipperary but couldn’t find a way past the useful but lower-rated filly Sweet Gardenia. He’s still the one to beat based on his placed efforts in Group 2 company at the Curragh and Newmarket. Zaffy’s Pride has been doing well at Dundalk and beat colts in a Listed race there last time. She’ll need to progress a bit more to win this but that’s not out of the question. Poetic Flare will be sharper for his run in last weekend’s Dewhurst when far from discredited on his first outing since winning his maiden in March. Masen could be given a chance on his close third at this level on his penultimate start but was too keen when disappointing last time while promising maiden winners Federal and Inca Prince are others to bear in mind.
