FormscanBy Michael Graham - LA HACIENDA was electric over a similar trip in Sligo and the form was franked when the third home came out and hacked up in Kilbeggan. She is up in class, but has shown a fondness for this track before when plundering a valuable handicap on the Flat. There are any number of dangers, though. Optional Mix switches back to hurdles after landing a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in June. She was sixth in a much higher grade over hurdles at this venue in May. Henning ought to appreciate this company, while Teagarden Jazz, Bella Bliss and Major Barry are others to enter the equation.
