Race preview

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR showed enough on her initial outing over course and distance last month to suggest she can go two places better. The Mayson filly was slowly away and held up in rear during the early stages, before making significant late ground once the penny dropped. Well drawn on her second racecourse appearance, the Kevin Coleman-trained juvenile looks the one to be with. Bruce Lightning hasn't progressed from a very pleasing introduction at Cork back in May but perhaps dropping down in trip will play to his strengths. A rating of 78 should be good enough to at least see him fight out the finish. Southbank, a debutant representing leading connections is the potential unknown quantity in the race. It will be interesting to see if any market support arrives for the Acclamation colt.
