Race preview

ELANA OSARIO has progressed with each run and had Radar Ahead nearly three lengths behind when beating all bar Get over 1m3f at Killarney earlier this month. The Paddy Twomey-trained filly has scope for further improvement and is proven on heavy ground. Rubies Are Red is the top-rated and was highly tried earlier this season, but couldn't take advantage of a couple of opportunities since in maidens over this trip at Bellewstown and Galway. Valinor was runner-up over an extended 1m1f here on her second start, while Bloom Vega showed promise in the spring and is another to consider along with Gaoth Chuil, a useful handicap hurdler who will certainly not lack for stamina.
