Verdict

Jupitor ran very well behind Primroseandblue at Gowran though the form hasn't worked out brilliantly. Los Amigos was unfancied when making his racecourse bow here last month but produced a very pleasing effort behind Mount Colah and with that experience behind him looks certain to go well. Cross To Boston is perfectly bred for this job being related to a host of winning bumpers but he may have to give best to another newcomer in FICKLE FORTUNE. Noel Meade's filly is a full-sister to three winning bumpers so looks ideally placed to take advantage of her allowances.
