Verdict
Eljowzah posted her best effort for a while when runner-up at Limerick but has yet to win in 17 starts while Copper Dock went close to ending a long losing run at Cork last time. Share A Secret opened her account with a win at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago and the runner-up has subsequently won. She should be thereabouts once again but the less exposed LES DARCY is just preferred. The latter came with a late surge to get off the mark over 6f here last time and this extra distance should suit.
