In depth

Verdict

Passing Trade gained her only victory in 38 starts over this course and distance but is very consistent and the handicapper can't drop her in the ratings. BESTRELLA is running well having followed up her victory at Dundalk with a very good run over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe, where she led at this trip, She's up another 3lb but looks the one to beat. Lilandra looked a certain future winner with two good runs before a moderate effort when stepped up to this trip while Above Us Only Sky looked like winning when taking the lead at Dundalk but was run out of it close home and she's now 0-32. Wild Cherry ran a bit better at Tipperary and has dropped to a winnable mark.
