Irish 1,000 Guineas Trial (Group 3)
1m
Going: Good (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneSENSE OF STYLE finished off really well in the Guineas Trial over 7f here last month and should appreciate stepping back up to a mile now. The daughter of Zoffany was friendless in the betting market on her return, going off 66/1, but showed up really well to finish third to Keeper Of Time. In a tricky-looking contest, she looks the safest bet. There was little between her and Fantasy Lady at the Curragh last season in a Listed contest, with Sense Of Style going down by a short-head. Both travelled and finished off well that day. Fantasy Lady was a fair enough fourth on her return at Naas in late March but probably needs to step up on that showing. Acanella looked a nice sort when taking her maiden over course and distance last month and it will be interesting to see how she fares up in class. It's a similar story with Shandra, who won on her sole start last year, and is pitched into this Group 3 contest on her return to action.
