Liffey View was due to run under a big weight here last night so the result should be monitored. Sidra landed a Gowran maiden in good style but hasn't been done any favours by the assessor and Oceania Queen has been hit with a 9lb rise after completing a double at Ballinrobe. Mozetta landed a Dundalk maiden before finishing fourth on her handicap debut behind tonight's rival Water Sprite, who found 1m4f just stretching her stamina at Dundalk subsequently. She's had a nice break and should go well though another chance is given to ON A PEDESTAL. Aidan O'Brien's filly has her detractors after being found wanting in a finish though she has come up against decent opposition and not been beaten far so gets the verdict.
