Naas Race 5 - Irish Ebf Pat Smullen Stakes (Listed)
FLORIDA BAY (1) has a pedigree to suggest he would eventually attempt 1600m but didn't expect it to be so early in the season. Top stable solely represented by this son of Mehmas and should prove a class apart. RANTING DUKE (4) finished second at York during May however was subsequently disqualified for jockey misuse of the whip. Not taken lightly. WO WO NEVER (3) is once of a couple in this field trained by Joseph O'Brien. Well held on debut at Gowran Park and stepping up in trip is interesting. DANCING DESTINY (8) won on debut at Roscommon then put in her place since. Market will guide as to her chances.

Two-year-old filly by Blue Point out of Cristale having her first start. Profiles well and worth watching for any market moves.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 9 at Fairyhouse on June 5 over 1408m, 10 len behind Florida Bay with 59.5kg at $4.30. The run before that 3rd in a small field at this track in the G3 FILLIES SPRINT STAKES on May 17 over 1207m, 6 len behind Victorious with 58kg at $21. One of the contenders.
