SHONA MEA (NAP) went up 9lb for her course and distance victory over Sweet Justice then just failed to hold off the winner at Limerick before returning there on Thursday and winning with something in hand. She has a 6lb penalty to carry but doesn't look as though she's finished winning yet. Sweet Justice has also been unfortunate to come up against Kosman and Take My Hand and finished close up behind both so she looks certain to get into contention again but the latter was well behind the selection on Thursday. Fool Proof attracted strong support when 5 lengths behind today's rival Talking Tough at Sligo but didn't get the run of the race.
