Verdict

DEFINITE RUBY won this last year and looks to have been trained for another crack. She also scored over hurdles here in January and her latest run was over a very much longer trip where she was tanking along at this trip before fading in the latter stages. Jessica Harrington has three entries and Robbie Power's presence on Girly Girl suggests she's the pick as she put her jumping problems behind when a very good third to Slowmotion in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse over Easter. She's 8lb better off with the winner while runner-up and stable companion Keppols Queen should also get closer on the revised terms. Retour En France has been going well on testing ground and it's possible he may be better suited by these better conditions so has to be respected though a bigger threat may emerge from Anthony Honeyball's Cresswell Breeze, who finished very close behind the selection in this last year.
