Cruidin has ability but looked reluctant to go through with her effort at Gowran last week and Kevin Manning will have his hands full here. Jim Bolger also runs Countess Constance but her only decent effort came on softer ground. She's A Pistol has the form for this but how she handles the ground will decide the outcome as she's been confined to Polytrack or testing conditions. PERFECT FIT has looked like winning on a couple of occasions and this could be her day. She couldn't handle the experienced Maontri at Sligo last month but this looks easier.
