Verdict
Anshan Dreams beat a big field to land a maiden at Tipperary but produced a better run behind Cass Bligh at Clonmel earlier. The latter is consistent and a line through him points to the chance of BARACAS here as Eoin Griffin's charge was only a head behind him when they occupied the places behind Ballyadam Brook at Listowel. Takeyourcapoff looks a real danger as he wasn't too far behind Ballyadam Brook in the Grade 3 won by Oilily at Tipperary a couple of weeks ago. Moon Dice is a very promising type but would prefer further while Michelle's Express needs to improve from her surprise victory at Ballinrobe.
