Vivax takes a big step-up in trip after making a reasonable debut over 7f at Gowran though she's by Dandy Man, who is better known as the sire of sprinters. Stable companion A Wave Of The Sea is by Born To Sea out of a Montjeu mare so should be suited by middle-distances. GRANULARITY has run well on both starts here and at Clonmel and this looks within her capabilities so she's handed the vote. Triple Nickle will have found 7f much too short on her debut here in October and better is expected here.
