Scat Daddy gelding, cost $380,000 as a yearling, is a half-brother to multiple winners at up to 1m. Open to plenty of improvement following three promising runs since May.
Off the mark at the eighth time of asking in a Curragh handicap over 1m4f on good to firm ground last month. Beaten since but could take some pegging back given a soft lead.
Won a Gowran park handicap over 1m1½f on good to firm ground at the fifth time of asking. 4lb rise may not be enough to stop the High Chaparral filly here.
Forecasts
Birth Of Venus (11/10), Rockabill (5/2), Remmy D (4/1), California Jumbo (6/1)
In a close and competitive affair, BIRTH OF VENUS is taken to develop from her win at Gowran Park last month building on a promising second of 16 in a Navan handicap. The weight advantage for the filly may be too much for Rockabill and California Jumbo who are deserving of consideration.
