Bumper winner Definite All Star looks certain to lose his maiden tag soon though he let supporters down when strongly fancied at Perth last time. Carrigmartin looked a bright prospect on his first two starts but finished with breathing difficulties on his final run at Down Royal in November and may be best watched for now. The hurdling newcomer Kaitlins Joy has been running well on the level and scored at Tipperary last month while Turner Brown has shown enough to suggest there will be a race in him. PATSEYSISTER gave notice of better to come when runner-up to Riverscape at Down Royal and gets valuable allowances from her main rivals which could just tip the scales in her favour.
