    Verdict

    THE ANTARCTIC was very green at Tipperary but still managed to beat the more experienced Wodao with a bit in hand and can complete a double. Mehmar cost 42,000gns as a yearling and a massive £200,000 at the Goffs UK Breeze-up so must have been mightily impressive. Little Keilee never got into contention before staying on over 6f here last month so is likely to find this on the short side.
