Verdict

Mama Sox is the only one of these not in good form though she would have some sort of chance on her fine run on soft ground at Fairyhouse last September. Dawariya appeared to find Galway's 1m4f stretching her stamina after two victories over 1m1f. She's a lot better than that effort and looks a threat as does Dodging Bullets, who got off the mark in great style at Galway but was earlier just behind TOBAR NA GAOISE over a mile at Leopardstown. The latter again ran well behind Dubawi Star at Gowran last week and looks the type to go on to better things. Hisaabaat is improving fast and scored with some authority at Ballinrobe but Sam Bass appeared to be suited by stepping up to 1m4f at Galway and may just be outpaced here.
