Verdict
A very low grade handicap in which the topweight Massabini has yet to win in 22 starts. Colla Pier will be fancied after her hard-fought victory over Dragon Fei here last month and though that was over a shorter trip she shouldn't have any real problems staying the extra. Harmonie ran easily her best race to date at Listowel earlier this month though she's taking a big leap in trip from a mile. BLUE RIDGE LANE was in good form a year ago from higher marks than he races off today. The assessor has given him a chance and he's taken to get back on track. Armed Guard rarely runs away from Dundalk these days and has yet to reach a place in five attempts on Turf.
