Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and it is worth siding with C&D scorer DINAMINE to capitalise on a lenient mark having been given a short break since running twice in two days last month. Desert Of The Sea continues in good form and could emerge as the chief threat in his bid for a breakthrough success ahead of recent Limerick scorer Carvalhal.
