Verdict

JUST JANICE has looked an improved performer this season and she can make a winning return to handicaps in this opening mares contest. All three of John Kylie's mares victories have come under today's jockey Davy Russell and she can put a disappointing effort at Fairyhouse last time out behind her with the unbeaten Contingency, a winner at Galway last time out taken to finish best of the rest. Of the remainder Harry Fry's Canelie, a winner at Taunton last time out can claim third.
  1. Just Janice
  2. Contingency
