Ken Condon has two entries and HARMONY ROSE would look a near certainty on her close third to Sacred Ridge here in June, when Cherry Bloom was behind, but she disappointed when odds-on at Down Royal. She gets another chance though the latter had earlier beaten Caleta Sunrise on the same track and is better off at the weights so should have no problems confirming the form. Speedacus showed major improvement when runner-up at Navan while Missing Matron is turned out quickly after having little chance from a poor draw in a major auction race at Naas on Monday won by Sacred Bridge. Neither of the remaining pair are out of this.
