Verdict

A wide open contest where many appear to have claims of one sort or another. Tjukurrpa showed much improved form in a Listowel maiden on her reappearance this month and, on just her fifth run, is afforded respect going into handicaps for the first time on the back of that. Not A Bad Oul Day has been flying lately and, despite going up in the ratings again, would be a threat if allowed to dictate matters in front too easily while The Lords Walk is an interesting contender in a handicap on this surface for the first time. The nod goes to the Sir Percy filly PANTSONFIRE who went very close over this trip at Navan on handicap debut and should be able to build on that run, which puts her right in the firing line.
  1. Pantsonfire
  2. Tjukurrpa
  3. Not A Bad Oul Day
