AMAZING EMMA hadn't shown much in strong maidens before chasing home The Blue Panther in a Bellewstown maiden last month. That was on testing ground so any further rain would certainly aid her cause though Shannon Valley, who was a couple of lengths back in fourth, didn't enjoy the run of the race so there may not be much between them here. One Smart Cookie had Brosna Empress behind when third in a maiden here last month though that was on very heavy ground. Abogados has been running in much better company though without showing much
