Longer trip sure to suit the down in class Czaritza
The daughter of Spectrum performed with distinct promise on her debut at the Curragh ten days ago.
Partnered by Catherine Gannon and an easy to back 10-1 shot, she was noted doing all her best work at the end to finish a respectable fourth behind Solid Approach.
That was a much hotter contest than this and with Johnny Murtagh on board and two furlongs further to travel it has to be Czaritza.
Dermot Weld's followers won't forget Ballybrit, 2002 in a hurry, but the Rosewell House handler's Perfect Touch can redress the balance a little by landing the EBF Fillies Maiden.
Indeed, she was one of Weld's Galway failures, trailing home a well beaten seventh in the race won by Ulysees. A lot more was expected of her and she seemed ill-at-ease on the rain-softened surface. On this much faster ground, Perfect Touch is worth another chance.
Charlie Swan's Colonel Bradley appears the pick of the weights in the Dermot Hughes Toyota Car Sales Handicap Hurdle.
The faster the ground the better for him and Colonel Bradley was far from disgraced at Galway on Saturday when sixth behind Vatirisk in a very competitive event.
The first juvenile contest of the campaign, the Railway Bar three-year-old Maiden Hurdle, might see Frank Ennis provide the answer with Askthejudge.
He has several decent efforts on the level to his credit and is a winner twice this season.
