ADESTE FIDELES has been a big disappointment though she had little chance in a Gowran Group 3 last time. She could do with a victory for the paddocks and this should do the trick. Mozetta was behind her at Listowel and looks held but Break My Mind is progressive and might have won at Listowel last time but for her rider dropping his whip. Fanzine didn't have much luck when trained by Hughie Morrison and was narrowly beaten on her first start for new connections at Clonmel but Akiliyna finished last of five on her introduction on this track a month ago, though looked badly in need of the experience.
