Verdict

JOURNEY WEST had a bit to spare in first-time blinkers at Downpatrick on Friday and might be up to defying a penalty if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Extreme Cacao looked set for an improved second when coming down 2 out at Limerick last time and heads the dangers along with recent Cork third Stolen Moment.
