Manalisa has clearly had training troubles but she is closely related to a maiden winner in Britain so any confidence behind Jim Bolger's representative should not be overlooked. PAPAYA hasn't shown offered a great deal in two starts for John Oxx though it appears significant that she was withdrawn from the Newmarket sales this month so it's possible that she's earned herself a reprieve with some worthwhile work on the gallops. Light Storm Cass has been easy to back during her career and she produced an improved effort at Gowran Park on only her second start. Burnt Sienna is officially rated 71 by the handicapper and having struggled in that sphere, connections attempt to steal a maiden. Pink Coat won a maiden hurdle at Cork for Steven Hassett and makes a debut for Dessie Hughes.
