KARAOKE was the subject of glowing reports before her debut at Gowran last weekend and started odds-on but found one too good. She'll have undoubtedly improved for the experience and will be difficult to beat. Her stablemate Rattle And Hum was cheaply bought at £30,000 considering her dam has produced winners with all four offspring to race. Wild Rover's second to Kodi Red at Navan was boosted when the winner went in again at Cork while She's Local showed marked improvement from her debut when stepped up to this trip at Leopardstown. Red Letter Bray led for a long way at Naas and that will have put him straight for this.
