TRIPLE EIGHT finished closer when dropped into similar company at Hamilton last time. The Irish import will appreciate today's longer trip and won't get many better opportunities given today's favourable terms. Comedy Act has failed to add to last year's four victories and is relegated to this grade as a result, but Reillys Daughter went close in a seller at this track last time and makes more appeal than Lauberhorn and Highland Cadett who have little chance at the weights.
