Make it Mkuzi

Make it Mkuzi

He's a seven-year-old now and hardly improving, but there is no indication of any deterioration in his ability either.

Indeed, John Oxx's colt ran a fine race in the Group Three Curragh Cup last time, beaten a head and a length and a half into third behind stable companion, Kastoria, and Collier Hill.

Road To Mandaly, considering his lack of experience, performed with real promise when fourth behind subsequent winner, Soapy Danger, in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and is probably the main worry.

Miss Beatrix, hugely disappointing on her latest appearance at the Curragh, is given another chance in the Silver Flash Stakes. She never settled at any stage of that contest and had nothing left when the questions were popped, trailing in seventh of eight behind Gaudeamus.

Prior to that the daughter of Danehill Dancer looked a smart sort in the making when winning easily on this track.

At Killarney tonight dual bumper winner Crossing gets the nap in the Kirbys' Brogue Inn-Lanterns Hotel Maiden. She made a promising reappearance on the level at Wexford 12 days ago, finishing a close third to Kevkat and Danielli.

Heartstopper, who won a moderate race with plenty in hand at Sedgefield, is the choice in the Ladbrokes' Handicap Chase.
