Naas Race 8 - Nursery Of Champions Fillies Maiden
BOND INTERNATIONAL (3) makes debut with appealing pedigree. Represents a top stable and is much respected. SMILING (12) caught the eye resuming at Curragh finishing a solid fifth in a stronger race. Good opportunity now fitter. SHARAYKA (11) ran better than the margin suggests debuting and could improve for that experience. CALRISSIANA (4) was a touch one-paced in latest. Subsequently freshened and completes the shortlist.
