BALLINABEARNA (NAP) has a hike in the weights to contend with but beat tougher opposition than this when scoring over 2m5f here last month. He won with plenty in hand and this longer trip should not be a problem. Nerual has a bit to find with the selection but Dawn Light Cave gave notice of a big run when second at Thurles recently. Mick The Jiver is not out of this dropping down in class today and Erkindale Lady can race off a lower mark back over timber having placed over fences recently.
