Naas Race 7 - Goffs Lacken Stakes (Group 3)
CHARLES DARWIN (1) remains unbeaten since his debut last Spring. Returned from a long layoff with a straightforward success in a Navan Listed contest last month. Claims are crystal clear. ROYAL BAY CEN (7) made a significant impression starting out for this stable with a 9L triumph in a Listed race two weeks ago. This is tougher but could be up to the task. Cheveley Park runner-up HAVANA ANNA (3) claimed both of her juvenile victories at this venue. Must show she has trained on and looks most capable of taking this at her peak. KINDERGARTEN (5) scored in a maiden during October and finished 1.75L behind the main selection on sole other outing. Possibilities.
