Millie Le Bach won a point-to-point here a year ago then followed up in a bumper when she had today's rival Carrig'n May just behind. She receives a penalty which puts her at a disadvantage and it's about time FAUSTINA PIUS was getting off the mark. She's now run 10 times and produced some decent efforts though she's also disappointed on occasions and wouldn't be one to trust completely. Turica showed nothing on her first two starts but was in the process of running very well when brought down at the last at Wexford last month, form that entitles her to the greatest respect.
