Jim Bolger is very adept at bringing out winners quickly and MAINICIN fits the bill here after scoring at Navan last week from just 3lb lower. She's still better handicapped than on the All-weather and a quick double looks on the cards. Storm Ranger was carrying a 6lb penalty for his Tipperary victory when just failing to cope with Set To Fire over this track and trip. He's up another 3lb but is running well enough to get competitive again. Live Twice ran well in a couple of maidens last month but poorly in two recent starts and she's had plenty of racing in a short space of time. Best Not Argue is the only course winner in the line-up and though not running well is back on her favoured ground.
