Verdict
KORTEZ BAY has run well in all three starts here and in a lucrative auction race at Naas. He was in the lead at this trip when tackling 7f on testing ground last time and will take some catching. Eddie G and Livin It Up have shown potential but need to improve to test the selection so the biggest threat could come from a newcomer. Samuel Colt, a €340,000 son of No Nay Never, is a full brother to one winner and half-brother to another and Free Range Kid is out of a mare who has produced numerous winning sprinters while Colin Keane's presence on board Shandy, a half-sister to a 6f winner, catches the eye.
