16,000gns purchase, bred to want further than this in time and yard rarely get winners. Best watched on debut.
Some promise on debut in May, sticking an well late, but not seen since, which is a concern, and faces different ground conditions here. Nevertheless, has to be given respect in a moderate contest.
Cheap purchase, bred for speed and related to a few winners but no superstars in the family and yard haven't had a 2-y-o winner for the last five seasons.
First foal, possibly a bit unlucky on debut at Leopardstown when not getting the clearest of runs at a key moment. Likely to come on from that and if handling slower conditions, holds a chance.
Has run to a similar level on three of his four starts so far, back in maiden company after his third in a Killarney nursery but again finished off weakly. This is easier though, and if handling conditions, should be on the premises.
Best effort of four to date came when a staying-on fourth at Down Royal in July. Trip won't be an issue but disappointing again last time and needs improvement.
Has only shown a modicum of promise to date, staying on from the rear to finish rear of midfield last time, but half-sister Duck Egg Blue acts well in heavy ground (and won for this stable) and she may well do better today. Not ruled out.
Sent off big prices all starts and has shown very little to date. No realistic chance of success here.
Far from disgraced despite finishing last in a nursery here last time out, but that was over 5f and previous efforts at this trip leave her with a bit to find. Ground will likely be the softest she's encountered too, so others preferred.
Stuck to the task well enough at Galway last time but already rather exposed as moderate and needs plenty of improvement to get involved here.
Forecasts
Vocal Music (15/8), Muizenberg Rock (9/4), Trading Post (4/1), Spirit Of Dreams (7/1), Blue Petal (12/1), Shecanrally (16/1), Africa Prado (20/1), Metamorphic Rock (33/1), Inis Cealtra (40/1), Leedle Lady (66/1)
Plenty of these have something to prove on the ground and caution is advised. MULZENBURG ROCK gets the vote after a promising debut where he may have won with slightly better luck in the run. Vocal Music is proving a little frustrating but holds every chance again in this company. Blue Petal is a likely big improver and any money for her should be taken seriously.
