      Verdict

      Drunk In Love started favourite at Dundalk last weekend and though very green came home well and will have come on a bundle for the experience. Laranjal showed good speed for a long way here a fortnight ago when Meggy Moo unseated her rider soon after the start though there are some well-connected newcomers in the race. MEDITATE is by No Nay Never out of a 6f winner and cost €360,000. With her stable in blistering form she's taken to make a winning start though Remind is by first-season sire U S Navy Flag out of a mare from a speedy family and Slick Chick is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two offspring. Slaney Tide may find this on the short side.
