FormscanBy Michael Graham - A very good race in prospect. PEACE CHARTER looks nicely in at the weights and can take advantage. On her penultimate start, she stayed on strongly when in the clear in the furlong (of this trip) for fifth in a Group 3 on fast ground at Leopardstown. She appears well worth another go at seven furlongs, and this is a drop in class from her last couple of outings. The ever-drying ground is not in former course and distance winner Quizical's favour. His stablemate Breaking Story was hit hard by the handicapper for finishing a close fifth in a Listed race at Navan in June. He performed well off his new mark, though, when a never nearer sixth in the 'Ahonoora' at the Galway Festival after suffering a less than clear route. That form has been franked when the winner Current Option landed a Listed race in Cork at the weekend. Stall 16 isn't ideal, but he is a horse that a patient race can be ridden on. This is a step up in class for Soaring Monarch but he arrives in good humour from a pair of runner-up finishes at Galway. Baraniya is an unexposed sort who had several subsequent winners in behind when winning her maiden at Roscommon. She has stall one, and a big run could be forthcoming.
