Race preview

RACHEL'S SECRET ran much better last time after a disappointing effort on her return from a long absence at the start of the year. The six-year-old was well beaten in the end when third behind stablemate Custom Taylor at Limerick a fortnight ago, but travelled well until the turn and this drop back in trip should suit. She has the benefit of a recent run, which may prove the difference. Ashdale Flyer had some solid runs last season and, with a mark of 100, she's entitled to be thereabouts. Shannon Bank was placed twice in bumpers and she's another to consider on her jumping bow.
