In depth

Verdict

A winner of two Grade 1 races last year and successful in a Grade 2 at Kenilworth in January, all eyes here will be on CELTIC SEA. She was surprisingly beaten at Turffontein in March but should get back on track here, despite giving away lumps of weight. Rio’s Winter has been running well since the turn of the year and could chase home Sean Tarry’s star filly but Che Bella, just beaten in Listed company last time over 5f, was well behind Dancing Queen in January. Tarry is also responsible for In The Dance, who has each-way claims along with La Bella Mia.
