Nimdani had run well on testing ground here before a poor effort on his handicap debut at the Galway Festival a few days later. He would have a chance if the going deteriorates but ROCKY COURT, who was in front of him at Galway, prefers quicker going and was having just his second race since October that day. He can take this providing the going doesn't ease further. Winter Breeze probably needed his run at Killarney last month, his first since February, and he's threatened to win on several occasions while the four-year-old Silken Thomas has come up against some decent performers in maidens and hasn't been beaten far.
