Verdict

GLAMAZON's latest fourth should work out well and she's been found a good opportunity to open her account. Maxminelli looks the most likely danger, connections opting for another crack at a maiden rather than handicaps.

7	Fair filly stepped up on her reappearance run when fourth of 14 in a solid-looking handicap at Limerick (1m). High hopes this longer trip will prove within range, and she appeals most with first-time cheekpieces added on return to maiden company. 1st Pick 7 Glamazon (Ire) Jockey: Shane Foley Trainer: Mrs J.

4	Fourth in a Dundalk maiden last autumn and may have needed the run (returning from 5 months off/a gelding operation) when seventh of 13 at Navan on qualifying run. Interesting that connections persist in maiden company and he's worth considering with a tongue strap on first time. 2nd Pick 4 Maxminelli (Ire) Jockey: William James Lee Trainer: Henry De Bromhead, Ireland J: William James Lee T: Henry De Bromhead, Ireland	88	-	-	-	20%

5	Showed more than previously with cheekpieces fitted on return/first start since being gelded, finishing eighth of 13 in a handicap at the Curragh (1m, heavy). Needs more but he's in excellent hands and the longer trip will suit. 3rd Pick 5 Pass The Buck (Ire) Jockey: Declan Mcdonogh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: Declan Mcdonogh T: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland	83	-	-	-	34%
