Race preview
MOTHER MARA has improved steadily since joining Ger O'Leary this year and was just denied over this trip at Fairyhouse last time. The Mohaather filly still appears on a competitive mark and the booking of talented 5lb claimer Wayne Hassett adds to confidence. Empress Artemis has only raced over a mile including when successful on debut at Dundalk but could prove a threat dropping down to 7f, while Honeysuckle Rose is another Dundalk maiden winner with scope for scope for improvement. Ribchestina hails from a yard in good form and merits respect on her second over this trip at Cork last time.
