FormscanBy Gary Carson - MYSTICAL GODDESS can make it third time lucky over fences. The Walk In The Park mare didn’t jump particularly well on her chase debut at Listowel but still finished third. She was better when filling the same position behind two smart stablemates in July Flower and Tareze last time in Limerick and looks on a fair mark now for her handicap debut. It’s noteworthy that Mark Walsh sides with Miss Pronunciation from the JP McManus pair. She was well held when third on her return at Wexford but is a course winner in testing conditions and softer ground may suit now. Speculatrix, a Listed winner on her penultimate outing, heads the weights and has to be respected down in grade.
