Naas Race 8 - Trm Stay Cool Stay Sound Rated Race
OCEAN'S BREATH (4) won two of his last three starts. The most recent win came at Fairyhouse tackling this trip in a first time tongue strap. Could have more to offer and prove hard to beat. L L KOULSTY (5) won well attempting a handicap at Cork in May. Was a non-runner back there last month due to a cough. If back on song and coping with this ground will go close. SIR BENJI (6) remains unexposed after just two outings. May need a personal best to get his head in front. YAUPON DE REPLAY (2) managed to win debuting in a listed event however has struggled since. This is far easier and is given plenty of thought.
