York's Dante meeting starts Wednesday
The first of York's two big meetings gets underway this Wednesday.
The first of the two features is the Clipper Stakes for the sprinters. It's G2 over 1200m and has a field of 8 with the ground rated G>F.
Karl Burke saddles three of the runners and his Elite Status is on 11/4 with Cliff Lee to ride. Then we will add Flora of Bermuda on 15/2 from Andrew Balding's yard and the quote is 15/2. Oisin Murphy rides.
The Musidora is G3 over 2100m and has a field of six 3yo fillies. It is seen as a good prep for the Oaks and with that in mind there is a lot of interest in Coolmore's Whirl, a filly by Wooton Bassett, having her second start this prep. Her previous race wasn't overwhelming but it was probably too short for her so she should be better suited here.
Another filly who looks interesting is Soken, by Too Darn Hot, with Rossa Ryan to ride. She's on 3/1.
