Race preview
Willie Mullins has half the field in this and it was interesting that Patrick Mullins was jocked up early for NIKINI. The Sea Moon filly was impressive on her debut last August and ran a nice race in hot company when sixth in the Grade 2 mares contest at Leopardstown on her return in early February. She plugged on up the straight then and may be open to a nice bit of improvement. She has a bit to find with stablemate Pink In The Park who was involved in that tight five-way finish in front of her then. The Walk In The Park mare held every chance inside the final furlong but just faded a touch late on. She would be the one to beat on the book. Dorans Weir is an interesting contender. She got within three-parts-of-a-length of The Nice Guy when last seen at Leopardstown over Christmas and that rival has progressed since to win the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham.
