Watermelon is a real fast-ground specialist as she proved yet again with another fine run behind Moratai Marauder on her return after a long break at Down Royal. Speedlock was in good shape at this time a year ago before going off the boil. If he's been brought back to his best he looks a threat off this mark while the lightly-raced Dew On The Grass is less exposed than most of these and ran well in a handicap on fast ground at Downpatrick in July. MOCKLERSHILL ran only three times last season scoring at Gowran on fast going in October before finding the ground too soft at Thurles. He has scope to make further progress and can defy a long absence here.
