LANDENSTOWN LADY can finally get off the mark after several close calls. She would have scored at Down Royal a year ago but for a last-flight fall and has produced two very good runs subsequently, the latest when narrowly beaten back at that track on Friday. This looks her opportunity though Decade Player will be no pushover as he made a very determined effort to lead all the way at Ballinrobe last month and was only headed on the run-in. Hospital has been gradually getting the hang of things and is another likely improver while Prince Of Dubai has shown enough in his two runs over timber to suggest he can be found a race soon.
