Verdict
MARE QUIMBY created a very good impression when landing a Punchestown mares' race in very convincing fashion and can remain unbeaten. Party Central has a smart pedigree and has changed yards since a smooth victory at Tipperary while Angels Down was having her fourth start when producing her best run to date behind the odds-on Jungle Boogie at Clonmel. Joseph O'Brien runs Castra Vetera, who has a dual winners' penalty with her only defeat coming in a Grade 2, and Leopardstown winner Lunar Display, who may need a confidence booster after falling when there with every chance at Fairyhouse last week. Ardera Ru landed a point at Cragmore in February though only two finished.
