Livadiya can put record straight

LIVADIYA, who disappointed in her first two runs of the campaign, gets the nap to strike form in the Group Three Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Blue Wind Stakes at Cork tonight.

She began by making little impact in the Irish Lincoln at the Curragh, won by Tolpuddle, and on Sunday at Leopardstown could only manage seventh of nine behind D’Anjou in a Listed event.

There is the obvious possibility the eight-year-old is in decline, but, until we know for sure, Harry Rogers’ admirable money-spinner is entitled to the benefit of the doubt.
