J: Jamie Powell

T: M D O’Callaghan

Best effort at two when a close fourth in a 6f Naas maiden; flopped in a Dundalk nursery on final start before the winter; now appeals as a possible future winner after Curragh third behind The Pipers Call, who had shown a useful standard of form at two.

Form & Verdict
Placed four times from ten starts up to this trip; can be forgiven last week's moderate sixth at Bellewstown, since she almost lost her footing when slipping on the bend half a mile out; was one of the main fancies for that race, in which Tax Me Later was third at 40-1.

Placed four times from nine starts up to this trip; didn't get the clearest of runs at Gowran last time but is better judged on some of her better previous efforts; can lead so has a good draw to go forward; big player.

Form & Verdict
Has finished in the first three in her last six races on turf; narrowly denied in a 7f claimer at this venue in May; backed that up with third placings in a maiden at Bellewstown and a handicap at Naas; thoroughly deserved her win in a 7f claimer here last month; has joined Ian Donoghue and can continue to pay her way.

Maiden has finished in the first three in five of her nine runs on turf; narrowly denied in C&D claimer in May; beaten just 0.75l off 62 in a 7f Naas handicap latest; should be on the premises again.

0-17 but has looked like her turn is near, placing the last four times over a range of trips from 5f to 1m; good 0.5l second to Gloriously Glam on last try over this trip in May, so shouldn't be far away back in a handicap.

Landed back-to-back 1m claimers at Bellewstown and Killarney in July when beating a few of these; couldn't do three in a row at Ballinrobe when third; didn't transfer that form to handicaps at Galway last time; dangerous in these races though; drawn wide.

Betting Forcast

5/1 Quinta Girl, 4/1 Tax Me Later, 9/2 Star Of Beauty, 25/1 Salamina, 13/2 Vlhova, 8/1 Una Matata, 7/2 Profit Surge, 66/1 Keep It Together, 4/1 Minaun View

Verdict

Recent track bias in favour of prominently-ridden horses is a factor is giving the vote to PROFIT SURGE, who dominated here last time, a suitable reward for her consistency. She is likely to be tested by Minaun View who is developing into a specialist in this category. Tax Me Later shaped well on her debut at Bellewstown and can go close in this grade with normal improvement. [Alan Sweetman]
