Verdict

This is a race Kevin Prendergast really covets and he's won it three times in the past five years. Red Raven is his entry this time and she will be primed to continue the sequence. AFTERNOON SUNLIGHT is another newcomer likely to attract support and she could be the one to be on as she's a half-sister to six winners including Group 1 winner Casual Conquest. Gorteo could prove best of those with experience as her effort behind Australia here last month was very commendable while Scalabrina also did well behind Minorette at Naas and the winner is in a Group 2 later. Aidan O'Brien quickly reaches for the blinkers on Terrific, who had to be rousted along from the start on his debut behind Avenue Gabriel here.
