Verdict
VICTORIA ROAD made an encouraging debut on testing ground at Roscommon before leading for a long way over this trip at the Curragh last week and should go one better. Keepupwithmyempire showed inexperience at the start over 5f here in May but stayed on nicely once getting the hang of the job and will have come on markedly. Sioux Sweet ran well behind Treasure Trove at Down Royal and the remainder with experience have all shown ability but the main threat could come from Amazing Show, a full-sister to a winner over this trip as a juvenile and costing €260,000 as a yearling.
