ZADARSKA is taking his time to lose his maiden tag but has been found an ideal opportunity and his close second to Johannisberger at Roscommon is comfortably the stand-out form on view. He should finally get off the mark though he won't be much of a price to do so. Fairwood Massini has been strongly supported on several occasions over hurdles and fences but can't get his head in front. He would appear to need further than this though still looks the main threat. Fast Exit was beaten a long way into third at Sligo but Ridayef has shown a bit of promise and may do best of the remainder.
