Verdict

The possible pace in this contest, looks like it may come from Red Persian in a race where only three should really come under consideration. Strike For Freedom, winner by a neck on debut in a Curragh maiden over 6f, but still looked green last day when second of three at Naas, The Aiden O'Brien-trained, Ballet Shoes, winner by a neck on debut in a Curragh maiden over 6f, but still looked green last day when second of three at Naas and LETHAL STEPS, going for the hat-trick here following a short-head victory on debut and facile 6L win last month.
  1. Lethal Steps
  2. Ballet Shoes
  3. Strike For Freedom
