FormscanBy Mark Nunan - MARSA won for the third time in ten starts when beating a subsequent winner in a 7f contest at Gowran. This will be her first time to tackle 1m so her stamina will be tested, but she can race off the same mark and it looks worth taking a chance that she will see out the longer trip. Take My Hand has to race from 3lb out of the handicap but loves it here and should go well. She has a C%26D victory to her name and was narrowly beaten on her latest visit in July. The five-year-old was returning from a break when again runner-up at Gowran and will be primed for a big run. Independent Expert snared a 7f Curragh handicap in May and has been placed on her last two starts. She’s had a break since going down by just half a length over this trip at Killarney.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards fillies only rated 50-80 that are EBF eligiblePenalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
