Verdict

Connyella doesn't win very often but is running well at present and has the most experienced pilot in the race on board. Jerry's Agent has only won over hurdles and may find this on the short side after being outpaced when attempting to make all at Tramore last time. PLAYDATE stepped up to this trip for the first time at Roscommon last week and ran a fine race behind Cannot Give. He's been raised 3lbs for that but is going well enough to defy the extra weight. Lombrici was just touched off by Gypsy Rose at Clonmel but that was over 1m2f which may be her optimum distance.
