LADY FONIC has a leading chance in a competitive looking O2 Customer Care EBF Maiden at Limerick tonight.

Kevin Prendergast's filly is on the upgrade, having started with a moderate fourth behind Deyrnia at Clonmel back in March.

She stepped way up on that effort at Fairyhouse sixteen days ago. Unfancied in the market, the daughter of Zafonic stayed on quite nicely in the straight to be beaten three lengths by Dream To Dress. That was a smart effort, considering Dermot Weld believes Dream To Dress may be good enough to take her chance in the Epsom Oaks next Friday.

Dragon Fly, fifth behind Burren Rose at Naas, and Insaani, fourth to Macduff at Gowran Park, are obvious worries.

Prendergast could also supply the answer to the Ballyduane Stud EBF Fillies Handicap with Devious Diva.

She is turned out quickly after finishing a length runner-up behind well-backed Mr Jack Daniells at the Curragh on Saturday and races here off a mark just 3lbs higher.

Michael Grassick's horses have yet to hit top gear, but his Stylish Bid is fancied to land the O'Connor, Murphy, Gubbins Median Auction Maiden.

She performed solidly when beaten half a length into second spot by Danzelline at Killarney and may have the measure of All Flash, disqualified after scoring at Fairyhouse, and Mary From Murroe.

At Wexford this evening Mount Grace, fourth to gambled-on Articulation at Clonmel, is the choice in the Slaney Maiden Hurdle.
