Verdict
This has been transferred from Sunday's abandoned Curragh meeting. The heavier the ground the better for Power Under Me, who landed a Group 3 here in good style in May, but Salt Lake City disappointed in a Listed race at the Curragh earlier this month. Tarawa found fast ground against her when runner-up in the latter event and her fourth place in the 1,000 Guineas here earlier looks the pick of the form though she was earlier beaten just over a length by ZARINSK (NAP) over a mile here. The latter had few problems making all over this trip at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks ago and she'll be difficult to beat. Honey Girl looked smart when completing a Curragh double on soft ground and her two recent runs have been in Group 2 company on quicker going.
