In Salutem was due to run at Fairyhouse yesterday so the results should be monitored though it would be a surprise if he could master TEOCHT whatever happened. Jim Bolger loves to bring horses out quickly under a penalty and the Teofilo filly has the regulation extra for her comfortable victory at Leopardstown on Thursday. She had been racing over longer trips previously but showed excellent pace and a follow-up looks likely. Diamond Daze has now gone an incredible 32 races without winning but she's rarely beaten far and will be popping up one of these days. Safe Home hasn't won since his debut in April of last year but has gradually dropped in the ratings so he could reward each-way support at big odds. Danseur De Feu's only success came at Dundalk and she's 9lb higher but Carenza was in very good form at this time a year ago and would have a chance if anywhere near her best.
