FormscanBy Michael Graham - HURRICANE GEORGIE outran her odds when runner-up in a Grade 3 at Punchestown last month and can go one better. That race was over a similar trip on good ground and she came in well clear of the remainder. She has a beginners' chase victory from Down Royal in her locker. Jack Foley's 5lb claim offsets some of the burden top-weight Bridge Native has to carry. She did as well as could be expected in third behind classy pair Notebook and Samcro in a Grade 2 at Navan this month. The 10-year-old mare will make her presence felt in this company. There should be more to come from Hurricane Georgie's stablemate, and double hurdle winner, The Sliding Rock on her fourth start over fences.
