Paul Deegan holds a strong hand here with Song Of Time and Moonreach. The former makes her belated return to the track after her demolition job in a Naas maiden last June and could be anything but Moonreach may be the safer option as he's been racing in very good class events on turf this year. He could be better over an extra furlong, however, so the vote goes to CALM BAY, who amazingly is still a maiden on turf despite some cracking efforts but has scored twice over this C&D.
