A good day at Dundalk saw Longbourn finish 2nd,the 7/2 shot was 4th at halfway moving into 3rd a furlong out. He was 2nd in the final 100 yards keeping on well but he couldn't reach the winner Finans Bay who came home by a neck. In the 8.00 Sistine Madonna was 3rd, the 2/1 favourite was prominent early challenging from 2 out. She led soon after but was passed inside the final furlong losing second in the closing 110 yards, Marsa won the race by 3/4 of a length.
All eyes will rightly be on Ascot for British Champions Day on Saturday but there are still 8 races at Leopardstown with three highlights.
3.45: Killavullan Stakes (Group 3)
9: Sierra Blanca: An improving horse who caught the eye when staying on well to finish second at The Curragh 20 days ago. He has plenty more to offer and is a big player who can confirm his promise and open his account.
4.20: Trigo Stakes.
10: Goodie Two Shoes: A filly with promise who followed up her winning debut when beating another in this field Monaasib at Punchestown 32 days ago. She won by 1/2 a length and should take the step up in class in her stride. This smart prospect definitely has the potential to complete a hat-trick here.
5.30: Leopardstown October Handicap.
14: Teed Up: A decent horse who confirmed himself to be useful over hurdles when winning at the Galway festival back in July. He is high on the shortlist here back on the flat and he can follow up.
