Muizenberg Rock is by Rock Of Gibraltar out of a 6f winner and was a bit unlucky in-running on his debut at this level at Leopardstown so with normal progress has to be in contention. Trading Post showed good pace for a long way in a strong Naas maiden won by the odds-on Dali and with improvement virtually guaranteed is another to consider though VOCAL MUSIC's experience may be enough to beat off these rivals. Jim Bolger's charge was in contention at this trip in a nursery over a mile at Killarney and can get off the mark. Blue Petal probably still has a bit of scope after just three runs and she can prove best of the remainder.
