Verdict
Ana O'Brien steered Suburban Sky to victory at Cork two runs ago but the pair were then only fourth on the Polytrack and Jane Foley's filly has no form over this extra furlong. Count Of Carabass was disappointing off his new mark at Naas six weeks ago but it's too soon to write off Belts And Braces and she makes more appeal than Fix It, who has been racing over longer trips. TIFFANY BAY has also been racing over further but shapes as though she'll be suited by sprint distances and she wasn't beaten far at Ayr and Tipperary last month. There are probably races to be won with The Carbon Unit filly off her current mark.
