Verdict
Crystal Harmony has yet to win a race but has dropped to such a lowly mark that her turn is surely near. ROJA DOVE went up 5lb for scoring at Gowran and though only fourth at Roscommon subsequently she was hampered when challenging and would have finished much closer. She's handed the vote and has the beating of Sweet Annathea on that latter run though Khelino looks a threat as she is now on exactly the same mark as when scoring at Dundalk in November and looks ready to win again soon.
