COULSTYS WAY (6) resumed with a 2.8L third over 1800m at Tipperary. Selected to break through for her first win. WASITTHEWAY (2) performed well when 5.5L fourth attempting a 1600m claiming event at Gowran Park. Expected to go well on handicap debut. MOVIN AND GROOVIN (4) registered a respectable 6.5L seventh in the previously mentioned Tipperary race. Shortlist. HIGHWAY SIXTY ONE (5) is another to consider bringing form from that Tipperary contest having finished 6.3L sixth that day.

Second-up. First-up after six months 3rd of 12 at Tipperary on April 24 over 1810m, 2.75 len behind Onemoredance carrying 56.5kg at $13. Previously second-up ran last of 16 at Galway on October 28 over 1408m, in the wet; 71 len behind Source Code carrying 56kg at $9. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

Most recently 6th of 10 at Gowran Park on April 23 over 1408m, on a wet track; 12 len behind Dance For Chester carrying 52.5kg at $34. The run before that 9th of 11 at Dundalk All Weather on March 21 over 1207m, 7 len behind Amemri with 51kg at $126. Likely to find this out of reach.
