RUSSIAN SOUL is a genuine Group class sprinter who returned from a spell in Dubai to beat a decent field at Dundalk. He's had a break and can take this before heading back into pattern race company. Bubbly Bellini had In Salutem almost three lengths behind when landing a handicap on soft ground at Naas and if the going continued on the easy side he'd make a bold bid. Aerialist scored over 7f at Gowran but then finished last in a Listed contest over this trip at Naas while Sassaway showed her liking for good ground with a convincing victory in a Tipperary handicap. Master Speaker has only won once and has now been beaten three times from this mark.
