Neither Flavia Tatiana nor President Lincoln are stable stars but the latter has some scope and didn't perform badly at Dundalk last month. Adiynara probably came up against a nice filly when runner-up to Sikara at Dundalk and is making her handicap debut while Crystal Morning has shown some promise in her three starts and doesn't look badly treated. Oh What A Kitten was up against it at Dundalk last time and can probably improve but the vote goes to LUIBIN CUFA. Jim Bolger's filly has a pedigree that cries out for a mile so the fact that she has had the required three runs in sprints to achieve a handicap mark suggests she can do better over this trip.
