SAMROGUE failed to meet expectations at the Curragh last month but her Dundalk win worked out well so is worth another chance back down in trip. Jupiter Express showed big improvement when runner-up on his handicap bow here and remains unexposed, while Elanora displayed good speed when second at the Curragh on Monday and should be suited by this shorter trip.
