Havanna Belle had been going well over 6f but this trip brought out the best in her when she scored at Bellewstown from today's rival Manny Owens, who is no better off. Sinndar Sandy has steadily improved and makes her handicap debut on a reasonable mark while Cocoon just held on to dead-heat with Ernest Shackleton when tackling this trip for the first time at Listowel. Ana O'Brien rode him that day and her claim can enable the partnership to reach the frame again though PERFECT FIT may prove too good. David Wachman's filly finished in front of Cocoon at Gowran earlier and is progressing fast enough to get off the mark. Just A Penny looked in need of this sort of trip when staying on over 7f at Tipperary while Jeune Et Jolie is one to note from her lowly mark on her handicap debut.
