Eagle Fang rates narrowly behind the top two on figures but is preferred here on the basis of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come over this fourteen-furlong trip at Killarney on good ground. Taipan heads the ratings and represents the most obvious threat alongside Factual Fact, who is only a couple of pounds adrift and must not be underestimated, while Granite Bay is also respected in a competitive thirteen-runner field. On an upward curve and with the trip expected to suit, Eagle Fang is the selection.
