None of those with experience have shown any notable progress. Rated 83, Blue Bahia was eased down once beaten at Tipperary last time though still has plenty in hand on these terms with Coppertone, a losing favourite at Bellewstown recently. The latter was well ahead of Galkina and Pink Jeanie when placed at Tipperary earlier but a chance is taken on Jim Bolger’s newcomer LATCHET, who would not need to be anything special to make a winning start especially if Blue Bahia fails to run her race once again.
