Verdict
Guanabara Bay has won over the track and trip and also from a higher mark and ran a bit better at Bellewstown. His stable companion PIPER BOMB makes a quick reappearance after just being caught by the well-handicapped Best Not Argue at Roscommon on Monday and though he's never won on Turf that can be put right here. Bouquet Garni is another maiden on Turf after 24 starts and though she's gone close on several occasions she appears best over a mile. Ahundrednotout signalled an imminent victory when staying on into second over 6f at Fairyhouse then led on the line over that trip when sent to Wolverhampton so the extra furlong shouldn't pose a problem. Little Camacho was making her handicap debut when just failing to hang on over a mile at Dundalk so normal progress and the shorter trip should see her go close. Althib and Zippy were engaged in the 6.15 at Laytown yesterday.
