SHAREEN showed promise in two starts on polytrack last year but was always likely to do better in her second campaign and she looked a filly to note when beating Spelterini on her return over a mile at Killarney. The extra quarter-mile should see her in an even better light and a mark of 75 is by no means harsh. Snap Alam looked in need of a longer trip when coming with a rattle to catch The Silver Crown over 1m1f at Ballinrobe so this should suit while Hedaaya bounced back to form at Wexford and is another on the upgrade. All three are second-season fillies while Sandymount Lady may not quite have their scope being a five-year-old. However, she's in the form of her life having followed a victory over timber at Punchestown with another over today's C&D last month. Queen Andromache was having only the third start of her life when comfortably beating Ice Empress at Navan and has much more to offer.
