Verdict
Brosna Rocco had a break before reappearing with a very good run at Tramore though her only victory came on heavy going. Crack On Corrie has been chasing and is another who appears to like plenty of give while Get Phar, who showed improved form at Fairyhouse in March, didn't make the expected progress at Limerick. SWISS BRID (NAP) stepped up to 3m at Tipperary and ran easily her best race to date, travelling well and leading at this trip before headed close home - a repeat would see her difficult to beat. Johanna Yeats produced her best run for a long time on this track last month though that was over a much shorter trip while Oscer Romero was beaten a long way when favourite at Down Royal after a narrow defeat at Fairyhouse.
