Race preview
QUINTA GIRL can make her experience count to land this for trainer Michael O'Callaghan. Having shaped with promise on a couple of occasions last season, the daughter of Sioux Nation took a significant step forward when third at the Curragh on her reappearance. With an official rating of 78, she just about sets the standard and, while vulnerable to a less-exposed rival, the three-year-old looks the most likely winner. Expert Dancer, who had reached the frame in three of her four maidens, ran a decent race in a well contested handicap at the Curragh recently. Back in these calmer waters, the Andrew Slattery-trained filly should make her presence felt. Fairyhouse debut fifth Green Amoro is entitled to step forward.
