Verdict
Matilda With Me had been in good form at Dundalk before a very good run at Gowran though she couldn't hold the late thrust of Pineapple Express. A couple of lengths behind in third came the veteran AUSSIE VALENTINE, who was returning from a break having dropped to a very attractive mark. Leigh Roche replaces an apprentice on Ado McGuiness' charge and he can finally get back to winning ways. Musalsal has been running well and this trip and ground conditions are in his favour so he is greatly respected along with Pinpointed, who just failed to hold off Akhlaaq at Leopardstown on her return from a long break.
