BLACKBRIAR did nothing wrong in her two opening runs before being outclassed in a Listed contest at the Curragh. She was just touched off by the well-supported newcomer Leading Actress on fast going at Cork and can gain her first success here. Arriana has come up against smart performers in her races to date and is well suited by quick ground while Well Done Me showed massive improvement on her opening run to be narrowly beaten at Tipperary. Spirit Of Wedza led for a long way over 7f at Sligo and looks certain to appreciate dropping back in trip, a remark that also applies to Lady Mandeville not beaten far over this trip at Down Royal before finding 7f beyond her at Limerick.
