G1 Prix Morny heroine Venetian Sun (Starman) is one of 25 horses remaining in the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot on Friday, June 19. She was a G3 Albany Stakes winner at two at Ascot.The Karl Burke trainee failed to stay in the G1 1000 Guineas, but made up for that effort with an impressive win in the G2 Sandy Lane Stakes over Division (Kingman) later in May.Sean Graham, racing manager to part-owner Tony Bloom, said of the filly, “Venetian Sun is in great form and came out of the race at Haydock in great shape, with Karl very happy with her.“We would love to see her run well at Ascot and then it could open so many possibilities for her sprinting. It's nice to go there with such a high-class filly and the one thing about it is, it was a team decision to go for the Guineas and it is something we had to do.“Her run in the Moyglare [Stud Stakes, at the Curragh last September] didn't really tell us much and we were always hopeful that she might get the mile because she is so relaxed in her races. But the Guineas showed she didn't and Clifford [Lee, jockey] immediately said she's just a fast filly who didn't stay.“It made the decision to go back sprinting easy. If she had finished fifth or sixth you might have been tempted to go again in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and then you don't really know where you are.“We learned nice and early where we are and it made that decision to go back to six furlongs so much easier.”Aidan O'Brien has a three-horse presence in the Commonwealth Cup. G3 Marble Hill Stakes hero Albert Einstein (Wootton Bassett) was one of the talking horses over the winter, but after only placing in the G3 Greenham Stakes and Listed Carnarvon Stakes, the latter to Song Of The Clyde (Sergei Prokofiev), he comes to Ascot with something to prove. Fourth to Venetian Sun in the Sandy Lane was multiple Group 1/I-placed Brussels (Wootton Bassett), and G2 Norfolk Stakes victor Charles Darwin (No Nay Never) will also line up.Besides Song Of The Clyde, Clive Cox will also run Coppull (Bated Breath), successful in the G3 Commonwealth Cup Trial Day Stakes.Carnarvon Stakes third Havana Hurricane (Havana Gold) will represent Eve Johnson Houghton, and fourth that day was Charlie Appleby's Wise Approach (Mehmas). Jim Boyle's G1 2000 Guineas fourth Into The Sky (Starman) is another given the option of dropping back in distance, likewise Robson De Aguiar's G1 Irish 2000 Guineas fourth Power Blue (Space Blues) and Simon and Ed Crisford's Rockfel Stakes scorer Zanthos (Sioux Nation) after her run in the G1 French 1000 Guineas.Wesley Ward brings a strong team to Royal Ascot this year, and his Outfielder (Speightstown) is in the mix.Ward won this in 2021 with Campanelle (Kodiac). Francis-Henri Graffard fields Samangan (Blue Point), while Patrik Olave Valdivielso's Prix Sigy scorer My Calyx Cen (Calyx) will also compete.The post Venetian Sun “In Great Form” As Commonwealth Cup Entries Out appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
