Navan Race 3 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Committed Stakes (Listed)

WHISTLEJACKET (1) enjoyed a highly successful two-year-old season winning the 1200m G1 Prix Morny at Deauville before ending with a fair fifth attempting the 1000m G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar last November. The one to beat. IDES OF MARCH (3) provided G3 winning form at the Curragh. Finished two positions behind the top pick at Del Mar. Rates highly. PEDRO NUNES (6) made a winning debut three weeks ago attempting a 1400m maiden at Dundalk AW. Interesting. The French G3 winning COWARDOFTHECOUNTY (2) warrants a second look.
