De Vega's Warrior³²

Weight: 9-5| Age: 2

T: J P O'Brien J: Declan McDonogh

Forecasts

Malayan (6/5), Nectaris (85/40), Snapius (5/1), Believe In Science (6/1), De Vega's Warrior (8/1), Ector De Maris (33/1), Ardluasa (66/1), Beau Amir (300/1)

Ready preference is for MALAYAN, who showed the benefit of her debut spin when landing a Galway maiden recently and there is almost certainly better to come from this well-bred filly. Nectaris did the job well when making it third time lucky at the same venue late last month, but it's hard to rate that form highly and the selection may have most to fear from newcomer Believe In Science.
