Sharjah arrives in top form having gained the 15th victory of his long career over 1m4f at Fairyhouse. The drop in trip is no problem and he's won from higher marks than this. Ace Of Diamonds has undoubtedly been disappointing and does best with some give in the ground while Singing'n'dancing ran over 6f last time and makes his handicap debut. GREENPANDA has only won once but has gone close on several occasions including over this track and trip in June. He was in the lead at this trip when tackling 1m5f at Ballinrobe last time and is taken to double his winning tally. Lady Boomerang looks a major threat as she ran her best race to date when third behind the in-form Rockfish at Gowran in June and has the scope to do better.
