In depth

Verdict

Monday has a wonderful pedigree being by Fastnet Rock out of Group 1 winner Ballydoyle. She's obviously of great interest though faces a couple of fillies with experience who showed up well on their debuts. EMPHATIC ANSWER caught the eye in what has turned out to be a very strong Cork maiden and gets the vote though New Emerald Bay also performed with credit in a maiden at Naas that is working out well. Giuliana was very green on fast going at Navan in June and will have come on a bundle for the experience while Dermot Weld's newcomer Zumoradda is another to look out for in what should prove an informative maiden.
