Verdict

Walking In Memphis won a maiden very easily over 2m3f here, when Ballydunblaze was 14l behind, and didn't enjoy dropping back to the minimum at Galway last week. In A Pinch won twice at Wexford last summer and competed a hat-trick when scoring at Tramore in June. She didn't run as well here a couple of weeks alter and may be a bit high in the weights. Milomynit is still a maiden but almost made all over 2m3f here in June though this depends on whether IAMASTARTOO stays the trip. An excellent second behind Bercasa over 2m at Galway, she wasn't stopping and is still well enough handicapped.
