Verdict
WESTERN CAPE was a shade keen when third in one of these at Roscommon 10 days ago but still finished ahead of Tasmanian Girl and Burvea and a tongue-tie may make him more amenable to restraint. Sapristi would have a chance on last year’s best form but Love Mocha looks the danger after appearing to resent the fitting of blinkers on her handicap debut at Gowran.
