WAITAKI (NAP) has only had one run here, when landing a maiden almost two years ago, and has only won once subsequently. However, he was down to a lowly mark when just failing to hold off Innamorare in a better race than this over a mile at Cork on Thursday and can go one better. Time Stands Still is on a hat-trick after victories at Ffos Las and over this course and distance and has an obvious chance with Ben Coen's claim a bonus while Palace Guard is among several winners over the track and trip engaged and is 2lb lower than that victory. Captain Power, five times a winner on Turf, has been placed twice in just three all-weather runs and has never won over this trip while Luna's Luck was behind the selection at Fairyhouse in June. Arbourfield loves it around here and is on a lower mark than when last successful on the track.
