Verdict
Miss Alaska improved markedly from her debut when a close fourth over 6f here a month ago where she showed good pace throughout. Her stable also run the newcomer Indian Alliance, a €47,000 son of Sioux Nation who should be ideally suited by this trip. CUBAN CONFUSION showed her first real sign of form in a course and distance maiden then found only the odds-on Keeper‘s Heart too strong over a mile on a return visit. That looks strong form and his track experience may prove too much for Ciao For Now, who has been narrowly beaten in two starts on Turf though she will be receiving 14lb and is an obvious threat. Gesture was beaten just a length at Naas in September but was soon beaten on softer ground at the Curragh later.
