FormscanBy Michael Graham - There could be plenty of pace on in this race and an each-way chance is taken on MY GIRL SIOUX. Andrew Slattery's filly didn't run badly at all in fifth in a big field in Naas at the end of August. She gets blinkers for the first time and Amy Jo Hayes is able to claim 7lb in this race. Samrogue has to defy top weight, but that is not beyond him. He got 6lb for a narrow victory over course and distance last month, but Oisin McSweeney comes in for the ride and has has been making a good impression in the Winter Series at Dundalk. Realtin Fantasy represents a shrewd stable and should be a contender after a C%26D success in mid-November. No Speed Limit availed of a good ride to score off the front last Friday. Stall 15 makes forcing tactics more difficult, though. Havana Notion chased home Realtin Fantasy on his last outing over this trip while Silver Nemo is one that could outrun his odds.
