Alertness has started favourite on both runs to date but didn't appear to have improved much on her opening effort on this track when beaten at Cork. As Good As Gold was noted making late headway over the minimum trip at Naas and, with that behind her, the daughter of Oasis Dream looks certain to get into the action. Her stablemate I Am Beautiful is a half-sister to Rumplestiltskin and other winners so she's worth a look but BLUE FRAGRANCE made such an encouraging start at Naas, showing good pace then staying on strongly, that she looks ready to score here. The Danehill Dancer filly Gussy Goose may prove best of the David Wachman pair as Sexy Legs should do better over further. Jeanne Girl will have come on for her run behind Coto at Naas.
