Race preview
KERMIYA should be suited by this staying distance and runs in her first handicap. Aga Khan-bred, she contested a hot maiden on debut and while disappointing in June, ran nicely to the line at Killarney, suggesting she is progressive. Alluring was a length and a half behind the selection and has a similar profile. She, too, is well bred, ran nicely at Killarney and is also likely to be suited by this distance on handicap debut. Galileo-sired Navy Beach has the pedigree to nuke his 59-rating but was disappointing in a first-time tongue-tie at Galway. He has caught the eye on occasions and it is very notable he almost doubles in distance today. Navajo River won an ordinary Roscommon maiden at 200/1 and races on drier ground. Glyde Ranger, by a sprinting sire, won well over a similar distance at Sligo but would prefer soft ground.
