Pulsating is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but he's up 4lb from his last run but still 4lb out of the handicap. SASTA could just find this on the short side but has finished so strongly to score over 1m2f and an extended 1m1f recently that she gets the vote in the hope of a strong gallop. Stormy Belle is on a very long losing run but Fearless Girl didn't get the run of the race when fourth to the in-form Sheer Bravado at Killarney on Sunday. Zoom Zoom Babe's second to stable companion Gee Rex at Gowran would put her in the frame while Passing Trade scored on heavy going at Bellewstown in August and further rain would aid her cause.
