Jim Bolger has been unable to find an opportunity for Vastitas to lose her maiden tag and though she's done nothing wrong she continues to find nothing once headed and finished almost two lengths behind Coprah at the Curragh last time. DODGING BULLETS had Coprah behind when just failing to cope with Still Point at Down Royal and that form gives him a clear edge over those with experience, though Compelling looks the type to make progress from her reappearance at Dundalk. Shiramiyna makes her belated debut and this superbly-bred filly is one to keep an eye on for the future.
