Bella Blue Eyes (IRE) tops the ratings with a score of 458.9. She is described as a twice-raced filly, coming third at this course in a previous race. The fact that she’s still ‘open to improvement’ gives her potential for this race, and her high trainer rating of 94.2, the highest in this race, adds to her prospects. Jockey Billy Lee has a 26.86% strike rate for the stable & an A/E of 1.21.

Eternal Silence (USA) comes in next with a total score of 368.3. Even though she didn’t fare well in the Irish 1000 Guineas recently, her 2-year-old form is described as ‘very good’. The comments suggest that she has solid claims when competing in ‘calmer waters’, indicating she could perform well in this race. The jockey rating of 78.2, one of the highest in this race, could be another positive factor.

Perseids (USA) holds a total rating of 337.0, making her the third top contender based on these ratings. She’s described as a ‘promising individual’ and came second in a maiden race at Dundalk. Her performance could improve with the stable being in a good spell.

Outside of these top total ratings, Gypsy Woman (IRE) and Golden Spangle (IRE) are horses that stand out based on their positive comments, despite lower total scores of 305.1 and 281.4 respectively.

Gypsy Woman (IRE) had a good performance in a maiden race at Cork and is expected to be sharper for that first start after 10 months. She could be a surprise contender.

Golden Spangle (IRE) is a ‘fair filly’ who recently came second at Gowran and is from a yard currently in good form. Despite her lower total rating, her recent performance might suggest some potential for this race.

In conclusion, Bella Blue Eyes (IRE), Eternal Silence (USA), and Perseids (USA) appear to be the top contenders based on total ratings, with Gypsy Woman (IRE) and Golden Spangle (IRE) also having the potential to perform well. The high jockey ratings for Bella Blue Eyes (IRE) and Eternal Silence (USA) are noteworthy and could be influential in this race.

  5. Monzoon: Although it hasn’t won in a while, Monzoon had a respectable tenth-place finish in its last outing. It has an engagement at Limerick after this race, which indicates its connections’ confidence. While it may need some luck, it cannot be ruled out entirely.

Other horses worth mentioning based on positive comments:
