Verdict

CENTRIFOLIA is very progressive and deserved the first success of her career at Gowran on Tuesday. She has to contend with a 10lb rise and this won't be easy but she's improving fast enough to go in again. Vocal Music and Best Not Argue, 1-2 at Navan a couple of weeks ago, will be tough opposition as will Canary Row, a very good fourth behind the in-form Innamorare at Leopardstown when Set In Stone and Top Notch Tonto were behind though the latter is expected to do much better. His stable companion Dream Walker has won 11 times and is gradually slipping to a mark he should be winning from soon.
