Naas Race 5

Irish Ebf Pat Smullen Stakes (Listed)

Prize Money: $77,318

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.
