Verdict

Tricky race to line-up with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade GLACIELE (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in all three starts to date and strikes a winnable contest here. Strips fitter second-up from the break and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a role in the finish. CLIODHNA MAEVE (6) has had a few chances but has been right there in all three runs this campaign and is usually thereabouts. Must be included in calculations. CONFORMITY (9) placed at Ballina on debut before not being too far away in town last time out. Top-three aspirations. NO IDEA (4) is on debut but has shown ability at the trials and a watch on betting is advised. SPIES ON (8) best of the rest from the astute Kendrick yard.
