FormscanBy Michael Graham - OCEAN QUEST and Ocean Jewel are well ahead of the field on official ratings and the former appeals most. She ran an absolute cracker in fourth in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot when beaten just over two lengths. That is very strong form and it has been well franked. She is ground versatile. Ocean Jewel is returning off a break since landing a Group 3 over an extended 7f at Leopardstown in mid-June. She has the pace for a quality sprint contest as she was only beaten a head and half a length into third in a Group 3 over course and distance in May (with Ocean Quest just in front of her in second). Rain wouldn't be to her advantage, though. Clounmacon successfully dropped back to sprinting in Listed class over course and distance last month and there could be more to come from her. Racing in rear and passing horses seemed to suit her well and she should get plenty of pace to aim at in this contest. Lady Tilbury, Aussie Girl and My Eyes Adore You should be in the mix for prize money.
