      Verdict

      Another poor turnout for this reasonable prize but it hands an ideal opportunity for GEMSTONE to get off the mark. The Galileo filly attracted little support on her debut behind stablemate Together at Leopardstown last week but ran reasonably enough and will have come on a bundle for the experience. Zvonareave made her debut here last week and performed with credit behind Obrigada. She is also certain to do better and looks a major threat while Obrigada's trainer Kevin Prendergast is represented by the beautifully-bred Danehill Dancer filly Kissable, whose dam was unbeaten in two starts including a Listed success at the Curragh.
