Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this looks a good opportunity for PHILDANTE to capitalise on a reduced mark and gain a breakthrough success. Fire Coral looks much the biggest threat on the back of a good Limerick third, while Georgia Celena and Trixaboutmaisie appeal as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
