Verdict
Harvey Specter showed the benefit of a fifth at Navan when scoring at Killarney but now runs off a mark of 51, which may be too high. MUSALSAL won twice at Gowran last month, both times on ground with some give. Recent rain is very much in his favour and he shouldn’t be far away again if he can overcome a wide draw. Lady Arona has claims on her second at Gowran two runs ago and Blackstone Cliff is a consistent sort. Pempie and New Vocation look best of the rest.
