Verdict
Emily Moon scored twice over timber earlier this year but struggled when stepped up in class and was well beaten in a Gowran Listed contest on her reappearance. Jeremys Flame looked to have a bit in hand when landing a Listowel maiden but was also behind in that Gowran race. DAYLIGHT KATIE, a winner between the flags, was placed at Grade 2 and 3 level in bumpers before winning in a hack canter on her hurdling debut at Fairyhouse. She'll take the world of beating despite meeting stronger rivals. Penny Out was ideally suited by heavy ground and front-running when making all in a Limerick handicap so could do with more rain while Mystery Stowaway, Sand Fly and Tara Dylan will need to improve to threaten the selection.
