FormscanBy Gary Carson - This has a wide open look to it but ROCA ROMA may prove the answer. The daughter of Australia ran really well last time when stepping back up to stakes company, chasing home the highly progressive Pearls Galore in the Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes at Tipperary. That form obviously looks strong now with the winner narrowly denied in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on Champions Day. Ado McGuinness has Casanova in the form of his life and the Frankel gelding won well when taking a decent little conditions race at Fairyhouse a week ago. He has gone up to a mark of 99 since that victory and doesn't have a lot to find in this company now. His stable-mate Saltonstall is top rated in the field and he commands respect also. The seven-year-old wasn't beaten far despite finishing tenth in a highly competitive handicap at the Curragh on Champions Weekend.%0A
