Some progressive fillies clash in an interesting finale with HELIAC taken to complete a three-timer and maintain her unbeaten three-year-old record. This rates her toughest task to date but her manner of victory at both Cork and Roscommon suggests that she has yet to touch the ceiling of her ability. Anya Ylina is another with clearly more to offer after scoring with ease in her Gowran Park maiden stroll and it will be no surprise if she were to go close on this handicap bow. She does have her fair share of weight though. Innamorare commands proper respect despite topweight and enters the shortlist alongside recent winner, Minnie Haha, for Jessica Harrington.
