FormscanBy Tom Weekes - POETIC SOUND attracted market support when showing promise in a useful Killarney maiden on debut and should improve. He was taken off his feet by the pace-setting winner then but with that experience behind him, should step forward. That race's runner-up has won subsequently while the fifth-horse finished second, also at Tramore on Saturday. Mick Collins has shown useful ability in two runs and while sure to run well, looks vulnerable to the selection which is open to more progression. Trapalanda showed plenty promise when racing professionally on Curragh debut in June. He is absent since, which is a small concern, and while the winner is now rated 90, the third-placed horse was subsequently well enough held at Galway.
