Carried With Love heads this nine-runner field on good ground at Ballinrobe, rated seven pounds clear of Straight Home and narrowly ahead on ratings alone will not be enough if she fails to reproduce her best form over this extended trip, making this a tricky puzzle to solve with confidence. Straight Home represents the most obvious threat, with Ad Caelum and Affinity Rock — rated level with each other — also capable of causing an upset if the selection runs below par. On balance, however, Carried With Love's superior form profile gives her the edge, and she is the one to be with in what shapes as a competitive staying contest. The verdict is for Carried With Love.
