Star can shine brightly over two-furlong longer trip

Trying to find winners this summer has been a nightmare with the unseasonal and, very often, unpredictable weather a major factor.

Take the Group 1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh tomorrow. The state of the ground is going to play a major part in the outcome, but at the time of writing it is virtually impossible to know what it will be.

The ground yesterday was described as yielding and set to dry out even more today. But the forecast is not favourable for tomorrow, so where does that leave us?
