FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Fourth on her most recent outing over course and distance last month, INFLUENTIAL LADY should be capable of making her presence felt. A strong stayer, the 10-year-old will need luck in running given her hold up style. With the possibility of a strong pace, the James Barcoe-trained mare should have something to aim at in the straight. Similar comments apply to Limerick winner Curious Bride. Perhaps best making her challenge away from rivals, the seven-year-old can be delivered with a late run down the wide outside. Topweight Nibiru is always a threat in races of this nature. The veteran has plenty of experience under both codes so should give his rider a good spin around.
