G2 – 1600m – Turf
1 |
Bold Discovery |
Disappointing on last two starts. Supporters will hope to see the same spark that saw him win a good-ground G3 over this trip here in May. |
2 |
Flight Plan |
His last win came with a front-running victory in this race last year. Led until weakening late in a York G3 in August. |
3 |
Lord Massusus |
A good fourth in this last year considering he raced too keenly. A close third in a G3 last time, another good Leopardstown effort. |
4 |
Maljoom |
Tackling G1 company on his last three starts, and good chances if he can repeat his second to the English 2000 Guineas winner at Goodwood in July. |
5 |
Mutasarref |
Having a terrific season, winning three of his last four starts including a fourth course win here at Leopardstown (G3) last month. |
6 |
Poker Face |
A six-time winner including at G2 level and returned to form when leading until near the end in a Goodwood G2 last month. Slow ground preferred. |
7 |
Power Under Me |
Gained his sixth career win at Naas in July, but best efforts have come on slow ground at this track including a G3 victory. |
8 |
Gregarina |
Often raced too freely when French trained. But relaxed nicely when winning a G3 at the Curragh back in May. Soft ground looks to suit best. |
9 |
Bright Stripes |
Wants slow ground, conditions that saw him win a 1600m Listed race at the Curragh. Some respectable G3 efforts since then, without threatening victory. |
10 |
Diego Velazquez |
Has sometimes proved very disappointing but his 7L winning romp in an 1800m G3 here in July showed what he is capable of. |
11 |
Galen |
Started favourite when moving up to G3 company here last month, finishing a close fourth which was quite encouraging. |
12 |
Mountain Bear |
A career best on his first run over this course and distance last month, a close second then and may have won that G3 granted a better trip. |
