Cool Summer heads into this two-mile contest at Ballinrobe carrying a fitness edge and a progressive profile that gives her a compelling case despite sitting a few pounds behind the top-rated Grey Gardens and the closely matched Ikalimix and Sayitfirst. Her book of form reads as the more solid of the principals, and over this stamina-testing trip on good ground that consistency could prove the decisive factor in a competitive 19-runner field. Grey Gardens, Ikalimix and Sayitfirst all represent genuine dangers and must be respected. With confidence tempered by the size of the field, Cool Summer is our selection.
