Verdict

Lightly-raced 3-y-o SHODA was a convincing winner of a maiden at Galway and can make light of an opening handicap mark in the low 80s with further improvement likely. Bay of Sanibel is second choice ahead of recent Naas scorer Apercu.

  1. SHODA (IRE)
  2. BAY OF SANIBEL (GER)
  3. APERCU (IRE)
