Race preview

THE MEDIATOR has been placed in a couple of Flat maidens recently and looks capable of landing a race of this standard. The Maxios gelding ran well when third to Immelmann over 2m at Thurles on his most recent outing and a similar effort may be enough to get the job done now. There are a few in this with questions to answer. Ikigai Star has a rating of 79 and if he ran near that, he'd be a big player, but he hasn't shown that level in recent outings. Golden Temple, with a mark of 77, was well beaten at the Curragh last time and needs to improve on that. A bigger danger may be the 76-rated Votre Homme, who ran well when chasing home Crassus in the Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal.
