Verdict

Snapius has been racing in better company since scoring at Limerick in June though has to give plenty of weight away. Stable companion Cynisca is another dropping in class on her handicap debut after running in a lucrative auction race at the Curragh. Nectarine looked a likely future winner when a close third to Viareggio at Cork but was beaten a long way behind that winner at the Curragh next time when stablemate Approach To Life was well behind. Supagirl has shown potential and makes her nursery debut on a lowly mark but INCHIQUIN STAR showed much-improved form when runner-up in a big field at Naas and further progress can see her land this.
