4/7

Bred to be precocious but got off the mark in workmanlike fashion when winning a 5f maiden at Dundalk on AW (4/7F) 24 days ago, that experience sure to stand him in good stead. Facing a step up to Listed class but sure to progress.

MARIA QUITERIA won readily on her debut at Dundalk in March in the manner of an above average prospect and can progress again stepping up to listed company. Star Prospect was impressive when winning cosily on C&D debut 15 days ago and should also improve, so he's feared most. Rebel Dance was a 500,000 gns purchase as a yearling and makes her debut in this company, which suggests connections hold her in high regard.
