Verdict

Experience is not necessarily the key here, but it can pay dividends for Branch Line, who had run two promising races on turf this season, before winning at Limerick beating three rivals 1L. Jim Bolgers, Slaney Street is improving with every run, but preference is for the Ger Lyons-trained ELEGANT POSE, winner on debut, staying on strongly to win ½L from New Terms in May.
  1. Elegant Pose
  2. Slaney Street
