Formscan By Michael Graham - There should be upside in SHAVASI's mark of 76. She was last seen finishing third in a higher grade in the Connacht Oaks at Sligo. Prior to that, she shed her maiden tag in Killarney. Counterculture hacked up in a fillies' maiden at Roscommon and is one to keep on the right side of. The experienced Sli Na Ghealai is more than capable of landing a blow, while Presence goes to work at the bottom end of the handicap and shouldn't be a backmarker. Glen Princess is a good ride for 10lb claimer Patrick McGettigan to pick up after she was an easy winner of a fillies' claimer in Gowran Park.
