Sweetasever beat DANDYS GOLD a neck over track and trip three weeks ago but has been beaten since and is upped a further 3lb for this. The latter may well reverse running on these better terms so William Fitzpatrick’s filly gets the nod. Sweetasever finished ahead of Olly's Folly, Joyce Compton and Canberra Cliffs when runner-up at Killarney recently while Olympic Legend was only third in a maiden claimer at Tipperary last time, though ahead of both Twist Of Magic and Future Frontier. Gifted Lady posted her best effort to date when runner-up at Sligo on her handicap debut and could go well again.
