Fast Landing^p1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: K Stott| T: S bin Suroor

11/10

Beaten by a potentially smart stablemate on last start, a markedly better performance than his debut. The form of that is likely to work out well and he holds leading claims, particularly with the potential to improve again.

Form: 8-2

Havelock²⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

7/2

May need this run after eight months off the track but has achieved plenty in two starts to date, finishing runner-up in two reasonable looking maidens. Market may reveal expectations after the absence.

Naab^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Robert Tart| T: J & T Gosden

7/1

Fetched some eye-catching amounts in the sales ring to date, most recently €100,000 as a two-year-old. Will almost certainly want further with a bit of time but this looks a fair enough starting point and connections can certainly get one ready on debut so warrants respect in here.

Form: 2057

(5)

The Eagle's Nest

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

12/1

Sold for €130,000 as a foal and connections can ready one first time out but this looks a strong maiden. Trainer has a poor record over C&D (6%) and may be one to watch provided there isn't significant market support.

Form: 30

(3)

Dreaming Time²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

4/1

Sister to Group 3 winner Laaheb and while this trip looks sharp enough on debut and she has no fancy entries, she's certainly worthy of plenty of respect.

Form: 51

Non-Runners

Frank's Legacy³⁰

Weight: 8-10| Age: 3

T: I Furtado J: H Crouch

Forecasts

Fast Landing (11/10), Havelock (7/2), Dreaming Time (4/1), Naab (7/1), The Eagle's Nest (12/1), Frank's Legacy (50/1)

FAST LANDING may have simply run into one on his second start last week and he may be able to get the better of a few less experienced rivals. Naab and Dreaming Time represent top yards who do well with debutantes and they both have pedigree's that entitle them to respect here. 1. Fast Landing 2. Naab 3. Dreaming Time
