GEKKOTA showed creditable form when fourth at Tramore recently despite being unsuited by the race development and has solid claims returning to this course and distance. Kilkee Bay should improve for his recent run at Wexford after a 10-month absence, while Georginas Jet has been showing progressive form and may appreciate this step up in trip.
