Sr Cartage has only tackled testing ground once when landing a Gowran maiden but has just scrambled into this handicap after being dropped 3lb for her latest run in better company. Sister Slew ran well at Galway but that was over 7f and she's yet to prove she stays this far, a remark that also applies to Hard Times who is still a maiden and was placed over an extended 7f last time. TEMASEK STAR went up too much in the weights after his victory at Dundalk in November and has been struggling but he's back on the same mark here and, reunited with Shane Foley, can gain his second career victory. The normally consistent Eloge let supporters down in a first-time visor last time and they are left off here.
