Verdict

OCEAN SURGE didn't appear to get home over 7f at Gowran last time and is interesting here back a furlong on her nursery debut. The Mehmas filly had stayed on promisingly over the minimum trip at Cork on her penultimate outing and this could the right distance for her. Bold Commander has first-time blinkers applied and he could play a big role. Pink Venom has placed a couple of times, including behind the impressive Timeless Tale at Naas.
