FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Navan maiden victor LATIN AMERICA can step up in grade here to land this winners' race. Sent off odds-on for that second racecourse start, the Johnny Murtagh-trained colt got the job done with the minimum of fuss. While the bare form of that race is nothing special, his second placing on Curragh debut in March has worked out extremely well subsequently. Granted normal improvement on this third start, he looks the one to beat. Derby entrant Port Ferdinand was beaten in a tactical race on his return at Cork last month but should be all the better for that outing. A progressive gelding this season, course and distance winner Bobby McGee shouldn't be ruled out under Colin Keane.
