Bridgequarter Girl has been gradually improving and makes her handicap debut after a comfortable victory at Tramore. She has to be respected along with Goal, who has found handicap company a bit daunting after a facile success at Perth. City LIne was well beaten on Thursday and has now gone 26 runs over timber without winning while Limpopo Tom is likely to find this on the short side. TREACY HOTELS BOY looked progressive when landing a Tipperary maiden but ran no sort of race in very testing conditions at Galway. This should be more to his liking and he's taken to bounce back.
