Difficult race to puzzle due to the lack off pace in the race but the improving and promising LADY GODIVA appears to be going the right way of late and can continue her development here. following a ¾L defeat at Sligo last month. Other potential improvers Passing Trade, second of 11 at Ballinrobe last month, the staying on strongly last time out Beau Rocko and the consistent Mojambo can battle it out for the minors.
