Going - Good, good to firm in places. Overcast
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Gary Carson - KWA HERINI has run a couple of nice races at the Curragh this season and there looks to be a race in her off this kind of mark. The Blue Point filly chased home Saturn Seven on her last outing and also ran well there back in April when fourth to one of today’s rivals, Gazelle D’or. That filly has gone up 9lb since and comes here in winning form after her victory over five at the Curragh last month. Connections aim to offset some of the 7lb rise for that win by giving Jack Cleary the leg up now. Tropical Retreat ran well when second at Fairyhouse last time and is still relatively unexposed. She’s another for the shortlist.
