Verdict
Probe is the only one of these without an official rating but won a Roscommon maiden by seven lengths easing down. However, the placed horses have been well beaten subsequently so the form doesn’t look strong. Cosmic Vega Is a heavy-ground performer and is held by Probe on a line through Lust but CORPS DES PAGES was still very green when scoring at Limerick and, with plenty more to come, can complete a double. San Martino cost €260,000 but his only victory so far came in a heavy-ground Killarney maiden.
