Going - Good. Fine
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan By John O'Riordan - SPRING FEELING can go two places better than her eyecatching debut third at Naas. The daughter of Buratino had run green before the penny dropped inside the final furlong of that contest. With the winner having gone on to score again since, the form has already received a boost. Granted normal progression from that introductory run, it's not hard to see the Robert Ng owned filly fighting out the finish. Benitoite has been absent since a promising debut over 7f at this track last August. With Jessica Harrington in excellent form at present, this seasonal debutant is unlikely to need the outing. Solar Breeze and Esculenta have very similar ratings and both come with plenty racing experience. While vulnerable to a more unexposed filly, each has a solid chance.
