Verdict

Mary Salome had been running well before scoring with a bit in hand at Bellewstown and she's won off a higher mark in the past. My Minervina arrives in top form and, though her two recent victories have been over a mile, she easily has enough pace for this. San Aer bounced back to form with a very good run at Leopardstown and is on the same mark but the very-progressive CAILIN CLISTE can take this for the younger brigade. A winner over 6f at the Curragh in April, she was having just her seventh start when coming with a late burst to score over that trip at Leopardstown and looks certain to be suited by the extra. Course and distance winner Excuzio Joe dropped back to this trip on Tuesday and was beaten less than two lengths behind the in-form Dunum.
