Verdict

BAINNE scored easily at Fairyhouse the last time she competed in a claiming race and looks the one to beat on these terms. She has plenty in hand at the weights with Jim Bolger’s Elusive Approach, without a win in seven attempts this year. Zebgrey has lost her form since winning a couple of handicaps back in June while though Mystery Gal looks best of the rest she has a stack to find with the selection if she is to get involved.
