FormscanBy John O'Riordan - JESINA could be ready to strike on her third start for trainer Eoin McCarthy. The seven-year-old mare finished runner-up in a bumper at Galway for Jessica Harrington last September but failed to trouble the judge on six subsequent outings. On her first run for new connections, the daughter of Milan shaped encouragingly when fifth in a handicap at this track. Having backed up that promising effort with a fourth placed finish at Sligo last month, the mare shouldn't be far away. Course and distance winner Paidi's Passion hadn't shown a great deal for some time prior to finishing second at Roscommon earlier this month. The David Christie trained mare looks well handicapped if she can back that up. Rathnaleen Zoey, a second runner for Eoin McCarthy, also holds strong claims after a good third at Kilbeggan last week.
