RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: Plenty of winning hopes here, but SKY FLAIR (2) has trialled up nicely for her return with a dominant victory at Melton and I think she’s a pretty handy mare who looks a good chance here on resumption. Her last run was a midfield finish in the Group 1 Breeders Crown final in December, and some of her efforts during that preparation were very good. NO MONEY NO HONEY (5) steps out for her first start for new trainer Antti Ruokonen, and while a faultless display would have her hard to beat, she is difficult to trust as evidenced by breaking in her last three races. She did the same under pressure in a recent trial, but has good ability and can certainly win. ALDEBARAN ABEL (8) added another good run to his record when second after a tough trip in the rain last weekend and trails through a quick beginner, while KARBINE (9) is a speedy little customer who just needs the right race tempo to figure late along with KYVALLEY MICHAEL (10).
