DAZZLING DAY has questions to answer after a poor run behind Akdarena in the Group 3 Blue Wind Stakes at Naas as she had previously finished close-up behind the winner in a Listed contest here. The extra quarter-mile may have been the reason for that latest effort and the form she showed on this track would make her very difficult to beat. Neither Buy Back Bob nor Mister Carter appeared to appreciate the 1m4f when beaten by Rain Forest at Gowran and the former is better judged on an earlier second to Reiteration over 1m1f at Gowran. Crazy Days easily landed a maiden over a mile here last month before a moderate effort when stepped up to 1m4f at the Curragh.
