Verdict
Something Sweet hasn’t been running badly but is on a long losing run. Ask The Leader is up 9lb for a very easy Downpatrick victory and Jack Foley claims 2lb less this time. Influential Lady lost her maiden tag at the 23rd time of asking at Gowran and is also up 9lb while Galway winner Farrawaybay made a bold bid to defy an extra 6lb at Listowel but has another 3lb to contend with. SHE’S MADE IT has never won in 17 starts but stepped up to 3m at Tipperary and ran her best race for a very long time. She’s up 2lb but a similar run can see her finally off the mark.
