Race preview
HAPPYWIFEHAPPYLIFE had Truce eight lengths back in third when runner-up at Killarney and may go one better. The Camelot filly handled soft ground well when chasing home a shock first-time-out winner on that occasion and the slightly longer trip here will not be an issue. Flora was coming with a good run when hampered in the final furlong at the Curragh last week. Her close third to the 79-rated Anner Castle was a solid effort and she's been sent off favourite in each of her three runs so clearly shows plenty at home. Essential Part was a creditable second to an 86-rated winner on her second start at Tipperary and she looks another leading player. That was over nine furlongs, however, and her stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust.
