AURORA NOVA wasn't at her best at Cork on Tuesday but her record here stands at 113 and she gets a tentative vote to revive quickly from what remains a workable mark. Escaping Thejungle rates a big threat though in her bid to bag a fourth C&D victory with Emerald Harmony and Mint Man also in the picture.
