STAR MIND shaped like a non-stayer at Tramore but returns to a suitable trip and can end her losing run. Gordon Bennett wasn't ideally placed when seventh at Naas recently but could improve at a track where he's won before. Racing Royalty should be sharper after a comeback run following 8 months off.
