FormscanBy Gary Carson - A cracking contest and MOTHER EARTH gets the vote to continue her progression. She was an eye-catcher on her debut when chasing home Frenetic at Navan and the pair do battle again here in this Group 2. Having been an unlucky third in the Albany at Ascot the selection dismissed a useful field in Group 3 company at Naas earlier this month and looks a very smart prospect. She has a bit to find with Frenetic now but looked to horse to take out of the Navan maiden and is fancied to turn the tables. Ger Lyons' filly made it two from two here last time when impressive in the First Flier Stakes over five furlongs. The stiff six here may just play more to the strengths of Mother Earth. Sussex Garden was put in her place by the selection last time and it's hard to see her reversing form.
