Verdict
Heather Bear, Theonewedreamof and Rock Of Candy finished 1-2-3 in a similar low-grade handicap at Gowran where all three stayed on late off a fast pace. The winner, a 50/1 chance, was having her first start in a handicap and though worse off at the weights can confirm the form. BUTTERFLY GARDEN was returning from a break when just failing to hold Arch Enemy at Ballinrobe. That was her handicap debut and she can defy a 4lb rise though Gowran nursery winner Pale Moonlight looks the type to be winning another handicap soon.
