Verdict

VELOCIDAD has extra to carry for landing the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes on fast going at the Curragh but she didn't give her running in a Deauville Group 1 on softer ground in August and can concede weight all round. Her stable companion Brostaigh got off the mark at Dundalk but doesn't look up to this. Sacred Bridge had an outstanding juvenile career, completing a four-timer which included a lucrative auction event and a Group 3 for which she's penalised. She'll be better for her run over 7f at Leopardstown and is an obvious threat. She's drawn well, unlike stable companion and Listed winner Head Mistress, but Ladies Church wasn't far behind her in that Group 3 at the Curragh and also has a nice berth. Elliptic made a successful debut last year and may prove best of the remainder.
