FormscanBy Michael Graham - GIN BLOSSOM was slowly away in Tipperary, but ran on strongly over an extended seven furlongs for fifth. She still looks like a filly that can win races after a pair of runner-up finishes over this trip as a juvenile. She clearly ran into one when beaten at odds on by Lemista in Gowran Park last October, as that horse has gone on to better things in Listed and Group 3 company. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Koola Buala finished a couple of places in front of Gin Blossom in third at Tipperary but Gin Blossom is fancied to reverse the form on 13lb better terms. Awkwafina didn't go unbacked when sixth on debut in the aforementioned race. That was a promising start and she is one that can go well at a price. Lilandra has been a beaten favourite on her two appearances. She has been placed in both, though, and is feared stepping up in trip. Soineanta is looking exposed, but has run some solid races and has a place chance.
