FormscanBy John O'Riordan - With an official rating of 98, MINERVA should take plenty beating in this grade. Third in a Group 3 at the Curragh last month, the Aidan O'Brien trained daughter of Frankel reverts to maiden company on her seventh career start. Twice runner-up earlier in the season, the form of those two particular races have worked out exceptionally well in the interim. It will be disappointing if the filly fails to take advantage of this opportunity. A half-sister to a black type horse, the Johnny Murtagh trained debutant Divine Legand has to be a contender on her racecourse debut. Take A Bow, a stablemate of the selection, also merits attention in first-time blinkers.
