Formscan By John O'Riordan - Fairyhouse maiden winner SHAKAZIA can follow up on her first start in handicap company. Runner-up on her previous outing at Naas in June, the Johnny Murtagh-trained filly readily opened her account at the County Meath track last month. A lightly raced three-year-old open to further improvement, the daughter of Kodiac has only had the four starts to date. Off an opening mark of 89, she could have some scope. Curragh winner Quadruple races off a career high mark but shouldn't be discounted under Colin Keane. Racing over what is arguably her optimum trip should suit the four-year-old. Course and distance winner Exquisite Acclaim is another with leading claims.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (100 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
