In depth
Verdict
A desperate seller here but something has to win and the principals look to be Baby Sister, Apadi and Ballyboe Boy and the tentative vote is given to Apadi. The selection has disappointed of late but as a consequence he has dropped to a handy mark and with conditions in his favour and with his stable back amongst the winners he is given the tentative vote. Baby Sister rates the main danger on her best form but all her best efforts have come with more cut in the ground and she is taken on with this in mind. Ballyboe is another worthy of respect on his best form but he is prone to breaking blood vessels and at likely oddds he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder, Dark Vocation is from a shrewd yard and is dropping in grade so should be watched in the market while Cahema is is on handy mark and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Apadi to small stakes.
