WAITAKI hasn't been seen since finishing last in a Group 3 at the Curragh in May but should have too much class for these. She'd been placed in three of her four previous starts and is rated 10lb higher than the frustrating Accalia, who has found one too good in each of her last three races. Grainne's Dream has failed to build on her second at Leopardstown in June and is taking a big drop in distance today. None of the others have much to recommend them.
