Karkiyna lost her maiden tag in impressive fashion at Fairyhouse and makes her handicap debut but Night Of Romance is up 9lb for her Gowran victory and this is tougher. EMILIE GRAY performed at Group 3 level on this track before sent to Germany when runner-up in a Listed contest. She takes a drop in class here and can return to winning ways. Needle Lace has never run over a trip this short but Dexter Belle was staying on behind Pirate Jenny over 6f here last month so should get into contention. She's Trouble can do well this season but has a long absence to overcome.
