Hi all,
Today’s three selections are from Leopardstown.
Leopardstown
3:35 – Enthrallment – 2/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Was unlucky in the run when a neck 2nd of 10 on handicap debut here over 1m 2f last month. He’s an improving handicapper who should be suited by today’s extra two furlongs. Trainer Dermot Weld has been struggling for winners in the previous two weeks, albeit they did have a winner at Naas yesterday, but that aside Enthrallment remains the pick.
4:35 – French Claim – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The colt looked much improved when comfortably beating four rivals at Cork on his seasonal return. He might prove even better at 1m 4f, as the season progresses, but he fully deserves to take his chance here. He has a Derby entry and I think this potentially smart middle-distance performer can get the better of Stone Age and Duke De Sessa.
5:35 – Moracana – 4/1 @ Bet365 – The selection was strong at the finish when winning over C&D on her handicap debut last month. Lightly raced for a 4-year-old she’s unexposed, likely capable of more progression and is 2-2 over C&D. She has an 8lb rise in the weights to contend with and is 4lb worse off with runner-up Entropy. However. I think she can confirm form with that one. Stall 15 isn’t ideal but she can overcome it.
Cheers
John
