MYSTIC THEATRE will be all the rage here and it isn't difficult to see why. A very impressive bumper winner at Tipperary, she didn't break sweat when conceding lumps of weight on her hurdling bow here last month and the runner-up has since been placed in a Galway handicap, with Just Janice behind in fifth, and the third won easily at Sligo on Thursday. Just Janice has a lot to find on collateral form while Ten Theatre ran a shocker in a Cork handicap last month, though that didn't look her form as she'd shown promise in maidens earlier. Winning bumper Like An Open Book makes a quick reappearance after finishing fourth in a Cork maiden on Monday but, like Jazz Mine, doesn't look up to this.
