Lemista has already proved herself at this level, landing the Park Express Stakes at Naas in testing ground in March. She has an extra furlong and a half to travel here and Miss Myers, who was under two lengths back in fourth, was staying on and is 3lb better off. Camphor was placed twice at Listed level last summer and didn't quite get the run of the race on her comeback at Leopardstown on Sunday while Winiata hails from a yard going well and won a couple of tough handicaps last season. ELFIN QUEEN, who cost $1.2m and is a daughter of American Pharoah, is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Cupid and seven other winners. She has much more to do than when landing a maiden at Naas last week but did so in emphatic style and the step up in grade and trip shouldn't pose a problem.
