Sakura is related to a number of winners and is an interesting debutant for the Ger Lyons stable, but SPARKLE’N’JOY is the preference. She was a beaten favourite on debut but improved when finishing third in a good maiden last time. That’s the best form available in this race and with more progression to come, she can take this prize. Rest Bay is another likely contender if building on her third at Down Royal and Olay Power is sure to fare better after finishing midfield first time out. Calling Time has a speedy pedigree but is best watched on her debut and Social Imposer will need to show more than when slowly away at Tipperary.
