Race preview

BATED MOON is speedily bred, with Declan McDonogh doing a light enough weight. By a sprint stallion, she cost just 14,000 euros as a yearling but her half-sister was a five furlongs juvenile winner and is out of a winning dam. Colin Keane is notable on Launch, which was registered to have been owned by Amo Racing until May 1. She was a 50,000 dollars yearling purchase, is out of an American stakes-placed dam and is the first Irish or UK runner from a speedy stallion. Nemonte is out of a Listed-placed dam and by a promising first-season sire, so could be capable. Givemethebeatboys was an 11,000 euro yearling and is out of a winning half-sister to Group 3 winning stayer Lismore. Zona Verda, Jungle Dance and One Cool Cookie each has ability but are vulnerable to capable newcomers. Seti is out of an unplaced half-sister to a Group 3 winner while Nikki Swango's pedigree contains European winners.
