Verdict

FREEWAY SPACE easily landed the odds in a point at Ballindenisk in November and made a very promising bumper debut under Jamie Codd at Fairyhouse when making the odds-on Avellino, who had won her previous race by 13 lengths, pull out the stops. She shouldn't have too many problems going one better. West Bridge has been well beaten in both starts and looks as though she needs further while Cherry West hasn't shown much in two starts over timber. It's difficult to get excited about any of the remainder though Tom Foley's newcomer Hardship has a nice jumping pedigree and any money for Patrick Mullins' mount Cosmic Dawn should be heeded.
