It's about time BUZZ OFF BARROSO was winning and this looks her chance. Jessica Harrington's filly was well behind Oceania Queen at Fairyhouse last month but that was her first run back and she's since been narrowly beaten by decent two handicappers. Colour Rhapsody landed a Tipperary maiden over 7f last July and didn't reappear until last month where she performed with credit in a very tough handicap on this track. She looks a real threat while Private Paradise was promoted into Listed company after her Leopardstown maiden success and ran better than her finishing position suggests.
