FormscanBy Mark Nunan - EPONA PLAYS has plenty of solid form in the book, and this looks a good chance for her to get off the mark. She began with a fourth place finish behind Irish Oaks winner Even So at this venue last year, and was beaten only a short head over 10f at Leopardstown last month. Back to a mile, she ran well against two horses rated 99 at Killarney last time. Laggata ran well to be second at Roscommon, and the filly that beat her ran well off 91 in a handicap subsequently, so that makes her a strong contender. Theophile wasn’t far off the selection at Leopardstown and drops to 1m for the first time, while Bounce The Blues ran well on debut here over 7f but will need more to win. Grenadine and Sagrada Familia have been running reasonably well but, judged on their ratings, will need to step up if the selection runs to her mark.
