Alalcance came from off the pace to almost catch the winner over this trip at Bellewstown with Delicate Girl four lengths behind. But the latter's yard is also represented by Only In Dreams and TIME TO TELL, whose narrow defeat by Milwaukee over the track and trip was a cracking effort - normal progress can see her go one better. Hey Whatever has been narrowly beaten on this sort of ground the last twice but Diyaba has had enough chances. The former handles the going and stays the trip well and it will be a surprise if she's not involved in the finish. Promises To Keep is a half-sister to five winners and, though showing little in her two starts, shouldn't be written off just yet.
