Neo Smart was headed on the line by Porta Fortuna over 5f on heavy ground here last month with Mary The Preist back in fifth. The winner's yard is represented by DO IT WITH STYLE, a €235,000 half-sister to four winners who may be good to make a winning start. Uncle Albert was last of five over the track and trip though wasn't beaten far and that looked a strong maiden. Elliptical is a half-brother to three winners though wasn't an expensive purchase.
