A low grade event with hardly any of them in form but it's about time SUCCEED AND EXCEL was winning and this looks his opportunity. Charles O'Brien's charge hasn't been beaten far in his last three handicaps, all over 7f, and won't get a better chance to lose his maiden tag. Dandysteps is one of the few here with scope and makes her handicap debut on a lowly mark after a good run over this trip at Bellewstown but Crecora has been well beaten since his victory at Killarney in July though didn't run badly at Listowel on Friday. Stoichkhov has won three times in 43 starts, all on Polytrack, but Share A Secret would have a chance at his best and the long-time maiden Furacano would come into the reckoning if getting a run from her reserve spot.
