Verdict

Annagh Haven had been threatening to win a race before finally doing so at Gowran where she was travelling well for most of the way. There could be more to come now she has got her head in front though Hangar Five and PAPAYA weren't far behind. The later is still a maiden but missed the break that day before staying on well so she's handed the vote to finally come good. The veteran Mahrajaan ran really well over this trip at Tipperary but is better known as a jumper these days and scored over fences at Killarney in July. Hallo Rosie's only success came on soft ground but Gary Halpin's claim can enable the lightly-raced Urban Venture to get into the action.
