Race preview
The Dermot Weld-trained SACRED OATH can open her account at the second time of asking. A real eyecatcher when staying on late to take third on her racecourse debut at the Curragh in June, the Lope De Vega filly should be primed for this race. With the Ballydoyle runners carrying all before them in maidens here all week, Andromeda has to be a live threat. Runner-up on all four starts to date, the daughter of Galileo has plenty of experience, which should stand to her in this grade. Although somewhat disappointing when beaten at short odds at Bellewstown last time, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly deserves another chance. Riviera Queen struggled when upped to Group 3 class last time, but should appreciate dropping back to these calmer waters.
