In depth

Verdict

Awkwafina was going on well at the finish over a mile at Leopardstown behind the short-priced Gin Blossom and the longer trip is certain to suit. TOORA LOORA (NAP) couldn't quite get to the well-supported Blackcatblackitten over this trip on the latter track but had Tooren Angel two lengths back in fourth and should finally shed her maiden tag. She's Our Queen went ahead inside the final furlong over a mile at the Curragh but couldn't hold the late thrust of Bearberry. Waiting tactics could be employed here and she should get into the action. Sharliyka is a half-sister to three winners and a newcomer to note.
