RUBIANA made a positive start for this yard when fourth at Kilbeggan last month, the combination of a 9-month absence and pre-race antics (played up beforehand) possibly taking its toll late on having traded 1.35 in-running, and she remains of interest back over hurdles. Townhill Penny and Menindee head the dangers.
