Mamma Rosa isn't badly treated and made a promising reappearance behind Fairy Wing here last month. Just in front that day was Rocky's Pride and he's had a very good winter, scoring twice over the C&D and continuing in cracking form. He's sure to go well again while Karjera has the potential to do better this season and produced by far her best run last year on her final start over this C&D. Barrow Island is well handicapped at his best but EAST OF TARA won so easily on her last visit here that she can go in again despite a big jump in the weights after another fine display at Limerick.
