Aby Race 8 - Race 8
MR CARNATION (4) gets a slight nod with strong season figures and proven stamina off a 3140m win and a 2nd at this trip at Aby, plus good returns from similar barriers. ALVENA ROY (2) appeals as the main danger given 4 wins at Aby and 2 wins at 2640m, and arrives off two recent 2nds here and Jagersro. ACE WIBB (9) is in the mix after a narrow Aby win (2140m) and a strong record from wide draws, though unproven at 2640m. THE FLYING EAGLE (1) can feature from the pole with consistent recent placings and a 2-from-3 record at Aby, but stretches to 2640m where he’s only 1 win from 6; leaning MR CARNATION (4) in a tight finish.
