Catalpa Sail couldn't manage a victory in his first season but went very close on several occasions and Dermot Weld should have him ready to take advantage of a falling handicap mark. However, with Tommy Stack once again making a blistering start to the campaign CELERINA, who had a light 2010 after failing to appear as a juvenile, looks a sprinter to follow this season and is the one to be on providing she takes to the surface. Empirico struggled from his revised mark after beating today's rival Patrickswell over the C&D in July but Primalova goes well here and gained her only success to date over the track and trip.
