        Verdict

        Pat Shanahan has found it impossible to get a race out of BETHANY BAY so far but this looks her best opportunity to date. She ran well on her reappearance at Limerick and was sent for a Group 3 at the Curragh where not surprisingly she didn't make the grade and this looks more her class. Martial Art started off very well last season and should have found a race tough he was beaten at short prices on his final two starts. Showtime Girl will probably need a handicap to get off the mark but Greek Spirit may be capable of better as she was forced wide on her debut at Lingfield and had little chance after.
