Race preview
OOH LA BELLE hasn't built upon her promising fifth place on debut at Listowel, but there is still time. She went into plenty of notebooks after that never nearer fifth over an extended 6f in Co Kerry. The James Garfield filly then stepped up to 7f in Limerick, but suffered a less than clear route before finishing fifth. It is worth noting that the form of that race is working out very well. She didn't cut much ice on her last start at Naas, but should have an impact in this company. Slick Chick gets first-time cheekpieces and has shown some promise in two of her three runs. Camilla Gherardini didn't run badly in fourth at the Curragh and has claims.
