Race preview
Natalia Lupini, who has already sent out a couple of juvenile winners this season, can strike with the twice-raced QUICKSTEPPING. The Fast Company colt shaped with distinct promise on his initial run at Leopardstown in July, before finishing third at Galway last month. Although weakening late on having led inside the final furlong, he possibly suffered from having to do a bit too much running from a wide draw early on. Apollo Prince kept on nicely once getting the hang of things on his racecourse debut at Galway. On collateral form, the Eddie and Patrick Harty-trained colt should be right in the mix. Sli Na Ghealai has acquired plenty of experience at this early stage of her career, so the Jim Bolger-trained filly is entitled to again make her presence felt.
