Verdict
BETTERDAYSRCOMING has a rating of 90 which might have been increased had he not shied away from the road crossing when a short-priced favourite at Bellewstown where he was only beaten a head. He can gain compensation though San Anton would be a threat if repeating his run when beaten a nose in a strong Galway maiden, though he disappointed at Roscommon next time. Zouperior will be expected to improve from a moderate debut at Leopardstown though Quiz Test, behind the selection at Bellewstown, looks the stable pick. Encosta's debut third behind Hasten Slowly at Leopardstown could get a boost from the winner in the previous race while Catherine Of Siena showed very good speed at Navan and isn't out of this.
