Verdict

Moonbi Creek and Little Arrows make quick reappearances after racing on the sand at Laytown on Tuesday. The former couldn't quite cope with Usa in an amateurs' event over 7f, where he was staying on, though he's yet to race beyond a mile while the latter, a regular performer at around this trip, did well to finish close behind Enigma Code over 6f. Despite a couple of poor efforts over timber, Lady Geronimo has to be respected on her close second to Waver at Naas in July but General Bunching has been struggling at the weights since scoring over a mile there the same month. FLAWLESS FILLY hasn't raced on ground this fast and her one success came on soft going at Ballinrobe. She appeared to find a mile on the short side at Killarney a couple of days later but, as she has more scope than most of these, is taken to get back on the winning trail. Waterloo Sunrise is still a maiden on Turf and has won once in 29 career starts.
