Verdict
HONGKONG DANCER went to the Curragh unfancied for his debut but ran very well in a strong maiden won by Nephrite and should have improved enough to take this. Miracle Cure didn't show much on his opening run at the Curragh behind Pierre D'Or but like many of his stable, will have needed the experience and can do much better. Perla Du Ma had his first start on Polytrack at Dundalk and didn't do badly behind Khaos so he will have made progress while the newcomer Sambusca, a son of Green Desert, has a nice enough pedigree to be worthy of attention.
