Verdict
Finest ran well enough in a couple of strong maidens then got no sort of run at Bellewstown. She can still improve as can Dress Kode, who pulled much too hard on very testing ground at Roscommon. The latter's stable companion Amber Kite was sent into the lead over 1f out on her debut here but succumbed in the closing stages. She will have come on a bundle for the run and should get involved though the vote goes to WINTER OASIS, who missed the break at Navan but stayed on strongly over that extended 5f. Faraah, a half-sister to eight winners, went for E64,000 as a foal and three times that amount as a yearling. Himalayan Beauty is from the first crop of the Gurkha and out of a 1m4f winner from a stamina-packed family. Omakase looks likely to be suited by this trip on her debut, a remark that also applies to Mirage More.
