Roshina had finished in front of the winner at Navan a few weeks ago, but the tables were well and truly turned here. This filly will get her turn at some point. She showed good speed in racing very much wide of the others on the stands' side and kept up the gallop without being any match for Droumeragh.
Having finished well behind after missing the break at Tipperary, Oasis Express showed a great deal more here. She showed a good deal of early speed on the centre to stands' side, and much like the runner-up, kept going up the hill. She has a bit of scope for improvement and looks to have enough ability to win a race.
Redera is probably capable of winning a race somewhere, but he was a little bit short of his best here. As at Cork the last day, he showed quite a bit of early speed but was unable to sustain it inside the last. An easy 6f looks to suit him better.
There was some money in the morning for Little Bug. She could never get involved and just kept on at the one pace.
The most disappointing horse in the race was Lista Lightning. He was prominent and showed speed for the first three furlongs, but dropped away and was beaten less than two furlongs out. [JOH]
