Verdict
None of these have won over track or trip but Coole Craft went close at Tramore earlier this month and it wouldn't take much more to go one better. Getaway Rose has yet to win and though she's been running well her last four starts have been on heavy going. Shantou Sisu hadn't shown much before an improved run on his handicap debut at Clonmel while REDWOOD BOY won on that track and didn't run as badly as his finishing position suggests at Down Royal. The latter has Katie O'Farrell in the saddle again and the combination can get back to winning ways.
