York Race 2

Tattersalls Acomb Stakes (Group 3)

Prize Money: $304,428

ITALY (4) Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at Newmarket and matched against a less competitive field. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Must be considered. DISTANT STORM (1) Got the upper hand late when winning last time at Newmarket and fitter for debut run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Jockey William T Buick is an asset. Will go well. GEWAN (2) Stormed home to win last time at Newbury and was a debutant last start. Should race on the speed. Solid place bet prospects. GOODWOOD GALAXY (3) Made up ground when 4th last run at Goodwood and lining up against easier rivals. One for the tricast in this race.
