Forecasts

Freeway Space (11/8), Miss Eyecatcher (4/1), Magic Of Light (8/1), The Green Lady (10/1), Just Janice (10/1), Theatre Wine (12/1), Une Lavandiere (14/1), Better Back Bracka (14/1), Famous Day (20/1), Smiling Jessica (33/1), Kilganer Queen (50/1), Midnight Surprise (50/1), Key Challenge (50/1), Slaney Craiglegacy (100/1), Our Lady Lucy (100/1)

Verdict

Freeway Space sets a fair standard on her Thurles second this month and should give another solid account here while Better Back Bracka has also dropped some hints of ability during two recent UK raids. Miss Eyecatcher has done just that with two recent placed efforts and should once more go well while Smiling Jessica is worth a market check ahead of her rules debut for a pilot sure to be confident right now. In what looks an open contest, a chance is taken that this extra test of stamina will suit JUST JANICE who has been running nicely over what might prove to be trips shorter than ideal. She should be in there pitching the further they go. 1. Just Janice 2. Freeway Space 3. Miss Eyecatcher
