This marks the debut of Key Secure, a full sister to Refuse To Bend and a half-sister to Media Puzzle. If she is to live up to her breeding she must take this though the experience of COUNCILOFCONSTANCE may prove just too much for her. David Wachman's filly showed the benefit of a nice introduction with a very good effort behind Blaze Brightly at Listowel where she was staying on well over that mile. Positive Step ran her best race to date when sent over 1m3f at Limerick and may need further than this but Romie's Kastett is probably capable of better than she showed on her debut at the Curragh as she missed the break and looked in need of experience despite starting favourite.
