Verdict

Fit For Function has returned in fine form on quick ground and, though up 5lb for his Listowel victory, is still 8lb below his all-weather mark. Arbourfield, six-times a winner on the all-weather, gained his first success on Turf at Gowran last month though a 6lb rise makes this tougher. Flawlessly only just failed to hold off Shore Step in a huge field on fast going at the Curragh last week and ,though 5lb higher, should make a bold bid to go one better. Waitaki ran well over a mile at Gowran last time but is 0-17 on Turf while Coreczka, seven-times an all-weather winner, is 0-11 on this surface. The last time WEXFORD OPERA ran over 7f he won a Gowran handicap from 7lb higher. He's won on good going and, though some rain wouldn't go amiss, he looks very well treated in anywhere near his best.
