Gowran Park Race 5 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden
ALMEIYDA (3) appeals as a leading chance after finishing 4th at Leopardstown over 1609m, beaten 12.5L in a 10-runner field last start. VENERINI (10) was 10th of 14 at Leopardstown on debut, while PURE VALOUR (2) finished 7th at Dundalk over 1609m. GRENNANSTOWN LADY (1) has yet to place in four starts, most recently finishing 12th at Bellewstown. Several debutantes add interest, including DARK LUCINDA (4), MATHOURA (6), SHANALA (7), and VAUNTINGLY (9), who all step out for the first time.

Finished 12th of 15 last start at Bellewstown over 2295m on 11 Apr, beaten 31.5L with 59kg at $126 on soft ground. Ran 4th at Sligo two starts back over 3522m, but was well beaten there as well. Steps out here with a 5.5kg weight rise and a drop in trip. Needs to lift on recent form but not without a chance if improving.
