SAKTI, beaten a neck by Brilliant at Leopardstown then less than two lengths by Vespertilio in the Group 2 Debutante at the Curragh, is the one to beat after the latter's second in the Moyglare at the weekend boosted the form. Get cost a mammoth 360,000gns being a daughter of Galileo and related to a host of winners though she has no fancy entries. Into The Groove cost €180,000 and her dam has produced winners with her first two offspring including a Grade 2 winner in the USA. Several of these are once-raced and certain to improve including Ezeliya, Peggy O'Neil, Hazbaiya, Je Zous and September Leaves.
