FormscanBy Michael Graham - LA JOCONDE ticks plenty of boxes. She has improved on each of her three starts culminating in a decent third place at 12/1 in Listed company at the Curragh this month. That outing confirmed her ability to handle testing ground. With a mark of 97 she sets a good standard. She doesn't lack on breeding as a half sister to this year's Irish Derby winner Santiago. Magic Carousel was a 400/1 runner-up in Tipperary but it didn't appear to be a fluke as she was prominent throughout. The horse that beat her by two lengths finished third in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on Saturday, so Magic Carousel has to be respected. La Joconde's stablemate Queen's Speech is making her debut. She is by US Triple Crown hero American Pharoah and is likely to have plenty of speed but you would think she may prefer better ground.
