Stay Local has yet to win and though she hasn’t had the run of the race the last twice she’s becoming expensive to follow. NUSRA’s close second to the well handicapped Unanswered puts her in the box seat and she again ran very well here last month so can finally lose her maiden tag. Rihani is getting closer and was having only her fifth start when close up at Limerick when another lightly-raced type, Surac, was just behind. The latter pair look certain to improve and look the main threats.
