APOLLO'S COMET ran nicely on debut recently and can build on that effort. By a leading stallion and out of a well-related winning mare, the selection was third at Fairyhouse and shaped as though she would progress, while she holds a Group 2 entry later this month. Sea Of Rain receives 8lb from the selection and also performed well on debut. She attracted support at Roscommon before finishing nicely in fourth and should only improve. Newcomers Leadlight and Tosca No Candis are interesting contenders.
Prediction: 1st Apollos Comet, 2nd Sea Of Rain, 3rd Leadlight
