Formscan By Tom Weekes - PINK OXALIS has shown useful form on the all-weather this winter and should appreciate today’s drying turf conditions. Her Dundalk form has been consistently useful and having won comfortably in March on her second attempt over today’s distance, should get involved in this competitive handicap. Neo Smart is ground-versatile and is 1lb ahead of the handicapper under her fixed penalty for winning at the Curragh four days ago, although both her wins have come over seven furlongs. Mallavelly won well on her debut for new connections at Dundalk recently. She should compete on her return to turf but was beaten racing from lower ratings in the UK last year.
