Nikita to bid for Noblesse repeat Nick´s Nikita bids for back-to-back victories in the Kerry Group Noblesse Stakes at Cork on Sunday. Trainer Michael Halford has had this Group Three contest in mind for some time and is praying his plans will not be ruined by firm ground. "She´s in great form and this has been her target for a while," said Halford. "She´s had a run already this year - she was a good fourth to Yeats in Navan - and we´ve kept her for this race since then. "I´m happy with her but I probably wouldn´t run her if the ground went firm. They are calling it good to firm at the moment with a chance of some rain on Sunday. She´ll run provided the ground is safe - we are keen to run."
