York Race 6 - Julia Graves Roses Stakes (Listed)
ADONIUS (1) completed a hat-trick attempting the Lily Agnes Stakes before returning with a 2L second in the G3 Molecomb Stakes tackling 1000m at Goodwood. Sets the standard. EL FLORIDITA (5) was fifth in the same race but had previously finished 3.5L second contesting G2 Norfolk Stakes at Ascot. Main danger. DANCE A JIG (2) broke through with a decisive 2.5L victory trying 1000m in a Class 3 Haydock nursery after earlier near-misses at Doncaster and Ascot. Makes some appeal. HICKORY LAD (7) won the Woodcote Stakes by 3.25L. Ran third in the G2 July Stakes before finishing 5.25L away in the Richmond. Not discounted.

Previously second-up won by a neck at Musselburgh on April 12 over 1000m defeating Rlasthope with 61kg at $2. Key runner who should be in the finish again.
