Verdict

MISS AUSTRALIE has a hefty weight to shoulder, but she won easily at Navan eight days ago and is fancied to go in again despite a 7lb rise in the handicap. Maxwell Smart (fourth) was more than five lengths in arrears of the selection and might struggle to reverse the form even though he's now 8lb better off. Limestone Red has been consistent of late and can be expected to run another honest race, while three-year-old Flagstone Lady might be able to build on a promising third at Roscommon.
