Verdict
Gotta Getaway came here for the first time early last month and gained a comfortable victory over today's rival DEAUVILLE SOCIETY. She's run well in subsequent starts at Tramore but she's 9lb higher than that victory so the runner-up can gain revenge on the revised terms. Pat's Pearl has also won around here though that was over fences and she hasn't been in the best of form. Kilmurry is still a maiden but has twice been narrowly beaten on this track and should get into contention. Lusis Naturea, a good third behind the in-form Jerandme in the Ulster Cesarewitch, disappointed back over hurdles at Galway. Moghram was engaged in the 2.05 at Tramore yesterday.
