Down Royal
Fri 19th Jun

Formscan By John O'Riordan - CASHEL BLUE can confirm recent course and distance form with the runner-up Spirit Above. Racing handily throughout on that occasion, the Ken Condon-trained filly got up close home for a neck verdict. Although now 1lb worse off, the daughter of Space Blues knows where the winning post is and may just have that bit more improvement in her. Spirit Above went down fighting in that aforementioned race and looks the chief threat once again. Well drawn to make a bold bid from the front, he holds every chance, while Mini Cotai has shaped well enough of late to suggest that she can win races at this level.
