FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Highest rated and yet to run a bad race in five starts, ORCHID GARDEN gets the vote with this step-up in trip likely to suit, albeit this locally-bred runner is not sure to stay on pedigree. She’s proven that her mark is accurate with two fine runs in competitive Curragh handicaps, and the way she ran on in her penultimate race over a mile indicated that she should be keeping on well over this extended nine furlongs. Laggata didn’t quite match her first two efforts when fifth here last time, but she’s still a danger and a step-up in trip will surely suit this stoutly-bred filly. Lady Hanson and Rosa Albertine go the other way in terms of distance and should be competitive, while Kuala Boola should find a winnable race in due course but has a few pounds to find with several rivals here.
