Verdict

A poor quality fillies' maiden which affords PEACE MISSION an opportunity. Tom Mullins' filly made a bright start at Gowran last month and may have found the ground too sticky at Leopardstown last week though she wasn't beaten far. Rest Assured has done most of her racing at Dundalk and he three runs on Turf have left plenty to be desired but Sliabh Luachra didn't perform badly on her opening run at Fairyhouse and wouldn't need much more to take a hand. Gladly attempted to make all over this trip at Gowran but faded quickly once headed though she may do better on this quicker ground.
