Verdict
Half of the field are course winners with Koybig having scored four times here though he's on a long losing run. James McAuley has three entries with Caesar's Comet, who won a similar race at Bellewstown under Shane Foley, likely to prove best of the trio. ALL THINGS BRIGHT has yet to win in 13 starts but she's been running well in handicaps and a drop into this grade can see her off the mark. Sister Lola, a winner here in February and at Gowran in April, has also been running well in handicaps and looks the main threat.
