Verdict

A small field, but competitive nevertheless, with a couple of scopey once raced winners going head to head with the Listed runner up Verhoyen. The Grassick trained colt has shown his best form at Naas and his latest run behind True Blue Moon is the clear form pick, but GASTA promises to come on a bundle for her 6F course fillies maiden success, and with the ground riding soft, this drop back in trip to 5F is less of a worry than it might have been on a faster surface.
