Blue Cabochon is rated 90 after a very good third behind Frenetic in a Curragh Listed event, her best run to date. But Tilia Cordata, who was making her debut, stayed on well into fifth and normal progress can see her reverse the places. After a close fourth in a Naas Listed contest, Dense Star started odds-on for a Dundalk maiden but couldn't quite get to the leaders and should do better back on Turf. Mooneista has been running well all season and earned a nice prize when third in a lucrative sales race over 6f on soft ground at Naas. Further rain would aid her cause but though it was fast ground when ROSES BLUE finished second to More Beautiful on the latter track in June, there's no reason why she shouldn't act on easier ground and she had Dense Star behind that day.
