Killarney Race 2 - Irish Ebf Median Sires Series Race
SOUTH DAKOTA (2) well held on debut but stepped forward having been well backed in the listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot last month to finish 1.5L down in fourth place. Looks well up to winning a race of this nature. FULL VOLUME (4) took a giant step forward from his debut effort to win at Bellewstown two weeks ago to get off the mark. Major player once more. CELTIC MOON (6) gets a handy weight allowance being a filly and scored well a fortnight ago. Looks to have plenty of ability and rates highly. VENETIAN POWER (3) homebred and looked in need of the run on debut. Improvement expected and not ruled out.
