In depth

Verdict

Mzuri posted a better effort over 1m2f last time and A Few Bob Short was narrowly beaten over today’s trip at Tramore. Highly Toxic wasn’t beaten very far despite finishing only fifth in an amateur riders' race at Tipperary and Volatile Lady finished a lot closer at Down Royal on her latest start but still finished a length behind third-placed NEW VOCATION. Jim Bolger’s filly has slid 8lb down the weights since May and could be the one to side with in an open affair.
