Soprano can hit right note

THE progressive Midnight Soprano can land the Clonard Maiden at Wexford tonight.

The daughter of Celtic Swing made a promising start when fourth to John Oxx’s Zarebiya at Leopardstown and built on that next time on the same track.

She finished two and a half lengths second behind another of Oxx’s, Simkana, giving the impression there was plenty more to come. Both of her races to date were over a mile and a half and dropping down a little in distance now should work in favour of Paul Deegan’s filly.
