Verdict
El Tesoro was well supported for a strong Curragh maiden a couple of weeks ago but disappointed on the soft ground so may do better on this surface. Carlotta finished fourth in that event and was beaten 12 lengths but did better on her debut over this track and trip in April. Starspangledwaves was a 100/1 chance over 6f on that latter card but ran a fine race, only weakening in the closing stages. After a promising debut at Naas, Smullen's Pride was elevated into Listed company here last month but was beaten a long way and this is more her level. Starnight is certain to improve from her run at Naas but Ger Lyons has won this a couple of times in recent years and LAS CUATRO, a full sister to three winners and half-sister to five others, can make a successful debut.
