Formscan By Shane Redmond - MAWHIBAH (3) looked to improve on her Leopardstown debut on soft ground when fourth to her better-fancied stable mate Nellcote on good ground at Limerick a little over a month ago when today’s rival Express Choice was 10 lengths further back. That race is working out well with runner-up Stellar Moment landing a Galway Festival maiden and the fifth-placed Blue Blue Moon taking a handicap at the same meeting. Phlox wasn’t as good on her second start after a promising debut and a bigger danger now might just be the newcomer Sea Of The Celts.
