Gowran Park Race 5 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden
The strength of form from those who have run before isn't strong so it's the newcomers who make for most appeal. VAUNTINGLY (9) is well related and by a top stallion. Hails from a stable who can do no wrong this season. Could prove hard to oppose. SHANALA (7) comes from a strong Aga Khan family and there are winners all over the pedigree. No surprise if she is competitive debuting. MATHOURA (6) represents the powerful stable of Jessica Harrington. Warrants a market check. DARK LUCINDA (4) wears a hood on debut and the pedigree gives mixed messages about what distance will suit. One to consider.

Second run back. First-up after six months 12th of 15 at Bellewstown on April 11 over 2313m, on a slow track; 31 len behind Tim Toe with 59kg at $126. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at Downpatrick on October 10 over 3520m, 24 len behind Barrys Spirit with 71.5kg at $151. That run was a bit plain so prefer her later on.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, 9th of 11 at Curragh on March 15 over 1408m, in the wet; 27 len behind Pollenca with 64.5kg at $81. Second-up 7th of 12 at Dundalk All Weather on March 27 over 1609m, 12 len behind Gaiety Girl with 59kg at $151. Hasn't done much to inspire.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fourth of 10 at Leopardstown October 18 over 1609m, 12 len behind Amelia Earhart with 58kg at $13. On debut 11th of 16 at Cork September 30 over 1609m, 10 len behind Bloom with 58kg at $15. Likely improver who can start this prep in a strong way.
