      Verdict

      Actress came here for her debut earlier this month but looked in need of the run and was beaten over two lengths by ALPHA CENTAURI, who started favourite and made all for a comprehensive victory. There doesn't look any apparent reason for a form reversal despite Aidan O'Brien's filly going one better and Jessica Harrington's filly can complete the double. Shapes, who was around three lengths behind, looks held. Camacho Dancer was around six lengths behind Actress at the Curragh last weekend but should get closer while Moonlight Bay was well supported when making a successful debut over the minimum here where she won with plenty in hand. Jim Bolger doesn't enter newcomers in this grade unless a big run is expected so Gasta is one to keep an eye on.
