Verdict

SHALE was nicely on top at the finish when getting the better of Pretty Gorgeous and 6 others, including Snowfall and Finest, in the Silver Flash at Leopardstown. Donnacha O'Brien's filly is very promising indeed and is taken to emerge on top once again. Pretty Gorgeous already looks in need of 1m+ and Mother Earth and runaway Galway maiden winner Meala may emerge as the main dangers this time.
