FormscanBy Michael Graham - STEPDANCE is hard to get away from in her bid for a hat-trick. She began her winning spree over course and distance last month and followed up four days later under the mandatory 7lb penalty at Limerick. She has been freshened up since then and, despite the handicapper having his say, is very much the one to beat. Captain Hanley stepped up to an extended 1m4f on his first start for Eamonn O'Connell in Tipperary and finished a never nearer fifth. He should improve upon that performance as it was in a higher grade. Highway Sixty One competes off a very light weight and has form over this sort of trip to give him a chance.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 0-60Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
