FormscanBy Alan Magee - SUNSET SHIRAZ has been a model of consistency and can gain a deserved first Stakes win. The Gavin Cromwell-trained filly had smart form as a juvenile notably when second to Discoveries in the Moyglare Stud Stakes. She appeared to find 1m2f too far on her belated reappearance before returning to something like her best when second to Toy in the Listed Garnet Stakes over this trip at Naas last Sunday. Glounthaune disappointed in France last time but rates a serious threat on his previous second to Jadoomi over course and distance on Irish Champions Weekend, while Neptune Rock showed improved form last time when landing a Listed race at Listowel. Power Under Me is a dual Listed winner over six but tries this trip for the first time.
