Their promising Cork debut should lead to an improvement. MINNIE HAUK should be able to go the extra mile as long as she gets used to this softer ground. Of those in good form, Calrissiana looks the most dangerous, while debutants Subsonic and Dawn Spirit are interesting, especially if they are strong in the market.
There has been much good to be said about Sujet’s performances so far, including when he finished third behind Shackleton at the Curragh last month, and he should be firmly back in contention if he can cope on softer ground this time. However, KILCREA ROCKS Was less than a length behind Sujet at the Curragh, performed best from behind and there is every chance he will improve for his debut run here. Serious Contender is the pick of the Ballydoyle trio and could prove to be the best of the rest.
Grosvenor Square was impressive when winning for Aidan O’Brien last season and the yard has a good chance of securing another contract extension TRINITY COLLEGE (Nap). He wasn’t beaten far in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes last month, slower terrain is fine and all his rivals will need a decent improvement to reach the level he has already achieved. Joseph O’Brien’s regular Wemightakedlongway has done nothing wrong in her two starts and could prove to be the best of all the others.
From those with experience, LADY IN PARIS I like this most after her encouraging run at the Curragh last month where she was able to make up some of the deficit. Takemetothemoon, a half-sister to City Of Troy, is by far the most interesting newcomer in the competition and if the market speaks for her, she deserves a lot of respect.
It’s hard to get away from it EXACTLY after the filly’s great attempt in the Marcel Boussac, when she managed almost everything. She seemed to enjoy the proving ground that day and assuming this run just 13 days later doesn’t come too soon, she will likely be hard to beat. One Smack Mac’s performance last time out at Listed level is worth mentioning, while Antelope Canyon and Celtic Motif both recently performed with much acclaim at the Goffs Million.
It can go like this CADOGAN who left Henri Matisse behind on his debut and since the improvement on soft ground is likely to be in his favor, there is a lot to be said for him, assuming he is fully fit again after his break. Serengeti looks like a big threat after his recent promising debut, and the same goes for Wild Sapphire, who came at a high price in his debut when he came close.
Montpellier Green defeated his once again rival stablemate DESMOND CASTLE last time in a 7f Curragh nursery but the latter may be better suited to this outing on softer ground and may return the favour. Yamal and Medici Venus also look like players.
