Verdict

Bubbly Bellini has never won on Turf and mainly races over further as does San Jose City. One Of Three stepped up to 7f at Fairyhouse on Wednesday and ran her best race for some time but STATUE OF DREAMS is best over this trip on soft ground and has dropped to such a lowly mark that he's entitled to the vote. Missile Command ran poorly on his reappearance but that was over 7f and he'd be a real threat if able to repeat his close third to Big Bad Lily at Cork last July. Measured Approval may do best of the remainder though he's another who needs to recapture his best form after a poor recent run.
