Yeah not so sure that Irish Darling is a good thing. At Sandown two starts ago it took all of Damien Oliver's ability to hold the horse straight - the horse is green and needs a good horseman. Last start it wasn't a good thing beaten. It seemingly got going late but that was b/c the runs were ending on the horses in front of it, and this horse is a strong one pacer, not a horse who accelerates.

This horse has the potential to step to a new level, at some point, because it has held it's level two starts in a row. I just don't feel that it is ready to find that new level tomorrow, especially back with Moor on top, from that gate.

It'll make a nice 4yo mare when it learns to settle, but always put a senior rider on this one.

Duritz.
