FormscanBy Michael Graham - SPEEDACUS appeals dropping in class. On his penultimate start, over 5f in the Curragh, he was a fair fourth behind a horse who has since emphatically franked the form in the valuable Rockingham. Speedacus enjoys this track with a victory and a runner-up spot in his two starts here. The handicapper has dropped him by 2lb and he gets first-time blinkers. This stiff finish plays to Curraheen Princess' strengths and she was victorious in her last two visits. Paddy Harnett's 7lb claim helps lessen her burden. A line can be put through Amazing Emma's run in Bellewstown where she stumbled and unseated Colin Keane. She keeps threatening another success and a hood is tried for the first time. Jazzy Dancer was very good off the front over course and distance last month when comfortably scoring by two and a quarter lengths. He has been hit with a 10lb hike in the weights, but should still be competitive.
