In depth

Verdict

The second division of this low-class contest is trickier than the first as though LIBRAS POWER is the clear form pick on her neck second at Dundalk she's never raced on Turf. She remains well handicapped and will be very difficult to beat if transferring her Polytrack form to good ground. Associate Rock was running in sellers for Amy Murphy last summer but has shown a bit of dash for new connections and it wouldn't take much more for her to get into the frame. Secret Vote ran once for Richard Hannon last summer and hasn't run too badly for new connections at Dundalk while Olay Power showed plenty of pace on fast ground at Navan last summer and hasn't had those conditions subsequently.
