Race preview
SNAPRAETEREA looks a talented individual and can make it two from three here. The Buratino colt tends to run freely but he overcame plenty of greenness to score first time and ran on strongly when chasing home Bubbles On Ice at Killarney last time. The form of his latest run looks strong now with the winner finishing a commendable sixth in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes recently. Amber Kite was a game winner at Gowran Park last time and is a likeable sort but may be bumping into a horse capable of a bit better than her official mark of 84. Elysium has a rating of 86 and is another that has to come into calculations. She was a solid third in a similar contest at Leopardstown last month.
