Devil's Angel²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

8/1

Has an appealing pedigree but was held back by inexperience on his debut but looked the sort to do better in time. Yard are 0-10 with their juveniles this year; was withdrawn from his debut due to the ground (good/firm).

Form: 5

Giacomo Casanova²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: K A Ryan

25/1

Doesn't look to be one of the better juveniles in the yard having run a couple of times with 4th on his last start his best effort so far. Looks to be of little interest this side of handicaps though.

Form: 74

Jordan Electrics^h¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: Miss L A Perratt

66/1

Improved on his second start although that wasn't hard as he showed very little on his first. Hooded for the first-time on his last start he showed a little progress and needs this run for a nursery mark where he'll be better off.

Form: 83

Serengeti Song

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke

8/1

Cost just €6,000 as a foal out of a dam who remained a maiden but was a half-sister to a smart two-year old winner at 6f Fair Eva. Stable are ticking along with their juveniles this season and any market confidence should be noted.

Showout¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A Watson| BF

1/3

Trainer cracking along at a 28% strike-rate with his juveniles this year and this one was well supported when taking the runner-up slot on his debut at Chepstow. The field there had plenty of experience; showed enough promise to have a major chance.

Form: 2

(6)

Diva D²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

11/1

Made a low key start to her career but given her pedigree and the yard that she comes from it's not unrealistic to think that she will take a step forward here. Only beat one home on her debut at Carlisle (6f, good/firm); more to come.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Showout (1/3), Serengeti Song (8/1), Devil's Angel (8/1), Diva D (11/1), Giacomo Casanova (25/1), Jordan Electrics (66/1)

This looks a good opportunity for SHOWOUT to get off the mark having shown up well on his debut to be only beaten a neck with his trainer having a good strike-rate with his juveniles this season. Devil’s Angel comes from a race that is working out well and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him step forward while any support for newcomer Serengeti Song should be noted. Diva D is another expected to show some improvement from a below-par debut effort based on the market expectations of her on that day.
