Race preview
While AURORA VEGA is unlikely to interest too many casual racegoers in terms of being a punting proposition, those in attendance are almost certain to stay around to catch a glimpse of a potentially exciting racehorse. The daughter of Quevega, a full-sister to Facile Vega, made an impressive winning debut at Sligo in June. Having resisted the temptation to compete at the Galway Festival, connections now take in this winner's bumper on the next step up the ladder. It would be a major surprise of the five-year-old isn't able to maintain her unbeaten record. Huntsgrove has shown enough on two starts to date to suggest he can win races although the Kalanisi gelding will need to improve to trouble the likely favourite here. Rule Seventeen looks the pick of the newcomers on pedigree.
