Race preview
Sirici has been highly tried this year year and she was far from disgraced when only beaten a length in a Group 3 last time out. A mark of 97 is not overly harsh considering what she has achieved and she gets the benefit of her rider's 5lb claim. INDIA RAIN bumped into a high-class filly (who has beaten Sirici in a Group 3 subsequently) last time out and somehow she has been dropped 2lb in the ratings for that run. My Silver Nails was third in that race and has subsequently won from the same mark, which makes the decision to drop the selection in the ratings even more generous. It is too soon to be writing off Blue Uluru and Brick By Brick is also noted.
