Nick´s Nikita on course for Noblesse follow-up Michael Halford´s 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 3 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 at 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 wentfirm. 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."
