Formscan By Alan Magee - Two strong candidates here following promising debut runs, and perhaps OPTIMISM AND HOPE may be best served by this step up in trip. The Tommy Stack-trained filly, who is out of a Galileo mare, shaped well over seven furlongs at Limerick last month until being on the receiving end of some scrimmaging in the straight. She should benefit from that experience, and has had a bit more time to progress from the run than her likely chief rival. It’s a bit of a drop down from Derby day at the Curragh to the Bellewstown Festival, and Fantastic Secret certainly outran odds of 25/1 when showing good speed throughout in the opener last Saturday. It was probably no disgrace that he failed to match the impressive Final Frontier in the final furlong as connections not surprisingly hold the winner in high regard. John McConnell introduced a nice juvenile at Leopardstown last week so any market move for Bonfire Bank would be interesting.
