Verdict

Bantry Bay and Bondi Beach represent Ballydoyle and both are sons of Galileo. Joseph O'Brien is on board the former though both face stiff tasks on their debuts. KNOCKNAGREE (NAP) made a cracking start here in October when narrowly beaten into third in a race that has worked out extremely well. She's another offspring of Galileo, cost 600,000gns as a yearling and is entered in all the major races. Creative Talent has shown plenty of ability in strong maiden company and should be winning soon.
