CONNEMARA QUEEN won a maiden here in May of last year and reappeared on the track after a long absence to be beaten a neck. She didn't run very well on a return visit but, in a poor contest, a chance is taken on her showing a revival. Fine Example is very consistent and has to be considered though keeps going up in the ratings without winning. Insurplus gained his first victory on very fast ground here last month and would be an obvious threat if taking to the surface while Sunnua, who hasn't won since July of last year, has slipped to a very winnable mark. Rose Eclair ran her best race of the season over the course and distance on good to soft last month and could reward each-way support.
