Neither of Saturday's tips ran after the meeting at The Curragh was called off. There was a further 4mm of rain overnight which left parts of the track waterlogged and unfit for racing, there is no news yet on when the meeting will be rearranged.
With Downpatrick already abandoned due to rain we are left with 8 races at Leopardstown on Sunday and if a 7.30am inspection is passed then there will be 2 highlights.
2.20: Ballylinch Stud 'Red Rocks' Stakes (Group 3)
7: Take Me To Church: A useful colt who picked up his career best win at Naas 2 weeks ago completing a hat-trick in the process. He led early asserting himself from a furlong out, he kept on strongly comfortably coming home by 6 1/2 lengths. He should take the step up in class here in his stride and achieve the 4-timer.
2.55: Ballylinch Stud 'Priory Belle' Stakes (Group 3)
1: A Lilac Rolla: A promising horse who had 2 wins from 2 runs last year including her last at The Curragh in August. She challenged from a furlong out keeping on well to beat subsequent Group 1 winner Opera Singer by a head. Despite being off since she can take this before a possible tilt at the Irish 1,000 Guineas.
