G2 – 1600m – Turf

Season
Golden Fleece Stakes - Form Comments
| 1 | Absolute Ruler | Has a classy pedigree and that showed on his career debut when convincingly beating 11 rivals in a maiden over this trip on the Dundalk all-weather track last month. |
| 2 | Atomic Jones | Despite inexperience he showed enough pace to narrowly win a 1400m maiden on his only career start at The Curragh in June. The form of that race has not worked out well. |
| 3 | Buckaroo | A big colt who should handle this track better than at Galway where he became unbalanced but he still managed to win a maiden there in July. |
| 4 | Howth | A big strong colt who outclassed his rivals on his handicap debut two starts back. In a similar event at The Curragh subsequently he ran poorly, always behind. |
| 5 | I am Magic | Although his lead was fast being reduced at the line, he held on to win a 1400m maiden at Galway in July. A trip to the UK did not pay off when well beaten at Salisbury. |
| 6 | John The Baptist | Well bred but already a gelding prior to his debut when he started at huge odds for a Curragh maiden in July, but he finished strongly to grab the winners’ money close home. |
| 7 | Manu Et Corde | Strong at the finish when winning a maiden over this course and distance in July. Not at all disgraced but couldn’t cope with G2 opposition on soft ground at The Curragh. |
| 8 | Maritime Wings | A winner on his debut he then had the misfortune of encountering probably Ireland’s top two-year-old, still running really well in those 1400m races, a G3 and G2. Good chance if 1600m helps. |
| 9 | Once Upon A River | A slow developer according to his trainer but that did not stop him from leading most of the way to win a maiden in June. Off since – and this is tougher – but he looks smart. |
| 10 | Stone Age | Two encouraging starts out of two so far. Latterly when leading most of the way in a Galway maiden, just finding one rival too strong in the closing stages. |
