Celtic Swing (GB)

While it may have taken until his fifth start to break his maiden, 3yo Pierata colt Kilbrannan has pedigree on his side and with the step up to 1300m, the Gary Portelli trained colt impressed at Newcastle on Sunday when breaking his maiden for Laurel Oak Bloodstock and partners.

Narrowly missing out last start in the Group 3 MRC How Now Stakes (1200m), the Richard and Chantelle Jolly trained Smart Missile mare Aviatress dropped back to the 1100m of the $175,000 Listed MRC Doveton Stakes on Saturday, charging late to snatch victory.
