Vischio went close over hurdles at Ballinrobe last month but the handicapper still appears to have a grip on Female Soldier. Vera Verto has placed in her last two starts on the level and won over hurdles last year but nothing went right for MOLLY’S GAMBLE on her reappearance at Gowran. She was a progressive filly last year and will strip fitter today. This is a much more competitive race than the Sligo maiden that Marvelosa won last month but she had finished ahead of Pachmena and Disco Boots earlier.
