Race preview
WESTERN CAPE sets the standard here and may prove the pick. The Footstepsinthesand gelding had some good runs at Dundalk but failed to get home over 10 furlongs on his handicap debut at Cork after running freely early on. Dropping back in trip now should help and he's be the one to beat on his third-placed effort at Dundalk in March. Zero Fighter looks the obvious danger, having a rating 2lb inferior. Adam Caffrey takes a valuable 7lb off his back to help his chances as well. The Muhaarar gelding ran a nice race first time when fourth at Dundalk but failed to build on that. Six furlongs may have been too short and ten too far though. Master Garvey has a bit to find at the weights but has been running consistently in handicap company and might not be far away.
