Verdict
ALEX D gets give in the ground for the first time this season. He’s only won a Limerick maiden so far but started the current campaign racing off a 6lb higher mark, despite a string of consistent efforts between 7f and 1m2f. Noble Seal has been creeping up the ratings even though he is yet to open his account. However, another big run is anticipated even though he could have been better drawn. Sassified has yet to run a bad race this season while My Minervina runs in only her second handicap and has shown enough to win a race of this nature. Galway winner Church Mountain seems to be improving, as is Tipperary maiden winner Moss Tucker who is less exposed.
