Race preview
SHE'S IN THE GAME is well suited by this trip and appreciated a switch to this surface when scoring twice over C&D last winter. The Bill Farrell-trained mare didn't enjoy much luck in running when reappearing after a summer break at Fairyhouse last month but finished well when beaten less than two lengths behind Plume Noire and may bolster her good record at this venue under regular partner Neve Bennett. Vadiana was soundly beaten in that aforementioned Fairyhouse event but appears better suited by a sounder surface and was successful on her only previous outing at this venue in a mile maiden last December. Many Tears bids for a quick follow up after scoring over C&D last Friday, while Alabama Pearl ran well on her only previous all-weather start here last year and was probably unsuited by soft ground at the Curragh last time.
