The KTB Fit ranking
-
1La Tache KTB Selection56/100
La Tache is a fair 2-year-old with consistent form shown by a win and two placings from five runs, though he has failed to place in his last two starts. He has no success in three attempts at this trip and the going remains an unknown with only five runs to date. The trainer holds a solid 15% strike rate at Naas from a big sample while the jockey is operating at 7% here.
-
2Equus Victor55/100
Fair performer who has shown mixed form across four starts, winning a maiden at this track before a disappointing effort last time. Dropping back from 7f to an untried 5f trip asks a fresh question while the soft ground remains unknown given the small sample. Trainer holds a solid 11% strike rate at Naas from 36 runs and the jockey is established with a 10% record from 784 rides here.
-
3Lars Soldier54/100
Lars Soldier is a fair 2-year-old with a solid recent record that includes a win at today's trip from five attempts. He has no experience of soft ground and this will be his first run at Naas, so both are unknowns. The trainer operates at a 6% strike rate here from 220 runs while the jockey is on 4% from 92 rides.
-
4Pink Venom51/100
Pink Venom has shown fair ability and is in good heart after two wins in her last three starts, including success at today's trip. She has already placed on her only visit to Naas and the yard's solid record here adds some confidence. The lightly-raced profile means the soft ground remains an unknown.
-
5I Ready49/100
Has won once and placed twice from six starts at this trip but has been below that level in two runs since.
-
6New Yorker48/100
Fair performer who has shown mixed form in four runs this year, including a win and a third but also two poor efforts.
-

-
8Oristown Boy36/100
