FormscanBy John O'Riordan - In a race where most of those favourably drawn are prominent racers, it could pay to take a chance on a closer in anticipation of a pace collapse. DAZZLING SPIRIT tends to be slowly away from stalls in her races before rattling home at the finish. While the Thomas Mullins trained mare has found the post coming too soon of late, the way this race will likely be run could see her pick up the pieces late on. Course and distance winner Speckled Meadow falls into a similar category, tending to miss the break then finding her feet late on. Billy Lee rides Galway better than most and mare filly shaped well when second at Leopardstown recently. Shawaamekh, who ran very well when second here last year, looks best of the low drawn horses. The Johnny Levins trained nine-year-old will appreciate any rain that falls.
