BREFFNI GIRL is up 2lb for a creditable placed effort over 1m5f at Gowran but should still go well in this low-grade handicap and holds Fancy Red Diamond and Forge Road on that run. Scalor was in the lead at this trip in a different division of that Gowran event so should get into contention but Sand Castle hasn't run since January of last year. Duke Otto, who has been hurdling, should find this trip more to his liking after staying on over 1m1f at Gowran.
