FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A victim of her consistency in terms of a lack of clemency from the handicapper, PASSING TRADE may gain a deserved second career victory. Her third to Gee Rex last week at The Curragh was another solid effort on the back of a promising reappearance at this track earlier in June. Trueba went close over 7f at Gowran, but has been hit hard in the ratings for finishing so far clear of the third, and he hasn’t prospered in two previous runs over a mile. Dundalk winner Plum Perfect may improve for her unplaced comeback run over this course in mid-June (went off favourite), while Reverberation is on a hat-trick and connections felt he would improve again from his Fairyhouse outing last week when coming home a four length winner.
