Cork Race 5 - Mallow Garden Festival 22Nd, 23Rd & 24Th May Fillies Maiden
SIGNORA (8) is clearly held in high regard as made debut in a G3 performing admirably managing a close third. Yet to really build upon that in two subsequent starts however has the benefit of race fitness here after a 1.75L second in a similar contest and may do so now. The clear one to beat. EXPERT DANCER (2) shaped well when 3.5L third at Curragh last October. Open to any amount of improvement following the winter and yard have commenced the season in flying form. Key player. FLOWER FOREST (4) is a beautifully bred daughter of Siyouni. Represents leading connections and seemingly is the stable second string. Worth keeping safe. STAR OF BEAUTY (9) can benefit for the application of a first time visor. Threat to all if improving.
