Borna can boost her Oaks claims

BORNA MAGIC can boost her claims in the Sycamore Dan Oaks at Youghal by taking the second of tonight’s semi-finals.

An improving sort, boasting a record of three wins from seven starts, Borna Magic set the standard last week, scoring by two and a half lengths in a fastest of the round 29.13.

As that was her first run at this circuit, Borna Magic has plenty of scope and can shrug off a four draw.

Strideon Aine reads the obvious danger.

This three-times winner made all in 29.18 last time and can play a leading role from an inside berth.

The opening semi-final can go to Droopys Capri.

A game 29.67 winner on her debut at Shelbourne last month, Droopys Capri turned in another determined effort when second behind Borna Magic.

Pat Buckley’s youngster has plenty of scope and can account for Borna Alice.

Having her first start here when third at odds-on last week, Borna Alice is also likely to progress but would be better suited by an inside draw.
