Formscan By Michael Graham - ASTRONOMICALLY has taken the runner-up berth on her last three visits to Dundalk and cheekpieces are tried in a bid to make the breakthrough. She hasn't been beaten far in those races and a fillies' maiden should be within her compass. Eclat ran a solid race when third behind Atronomically over further on debut in January and can improve. Joseph O'Brien's Lady In Gold could be open to progress on her second start. She was strong in the market for her debut over 7f last month, but a tardy start did for her as she came in eighth. O'Brien also saddles Vishaya who was weak in the market ahead of her first start in the same race yet finished third.
