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.

Living up to his name when winning on debut at this C&D (9/2) 15 days ago, had to wait for a gap but quickened to lead well, looking something out of the ordinary in the process. Leading chance on this step up to Listed company.

Backed as if defeat was out the question when winning on debut at Dundalk (4/9F) in March, doing so in the manner of an above average prospect. Steps up to listed company on turf but can progress again and looks the one to beat.

Analyst's Verdict

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.

Betting Forecast : 3/14 Maria Quiteria, 4/15 Star Prospect, 4/15 Rebel Dance, 11/26.5 New Yorker, 13/27.5 Velozee, 9/110 What A Girl Wants, 28/129 Blixen Force
