Quite a difficult race to assess but a tentative selection goes to BIGGER AND BETTER who showed some of the form he had shown in the UK to easily beat a big field at Gowran Park last time out. He is up in the weights but could still be capable of better. Tennesse Waltz has been running below his usual standard of late but perhaps the application of first-time cheekpieces may have the desired effect - he races here only 1lb higher than when scoring earlier in the season at Tipperary. Starlite Dancer seems to be slowly coming to hand and while does not seem a likely winner, could run into some place prize money based on two good recent efforts.
