Verdict
Power Grid has shown improved form at Dundalk and was running in a decent handicap on soft ground at the Curragh last time so he'll find this less taxing. Saga Sprint's four runs have all been at Dundalk and it's difficult to know how she'll handle this surface while Ocean Tides showed little on Turf before a better effort at Dundalk last month. PALAVICINI RUN ran very well here in September and, after a warm-up run on Polytrack in February, ran easily her best race to date when chasing home Credit The Giver at Wexford and looks to have got in here very lightly.
