The best on Wednesday came at Sligo where Shavasi was 3rd. The 9/2 shot was up with the leaders early sitting 3rd at halfway, she made no impression inside the final furlong while upfront No Niki No beat Beechwood by a neck. Over at Wexford Sea Aster failed to finish. The 5/2 favourite was challenging from 3 out but weakened falling at the last, Outside The Door won beating Favori Logique by a neck.
There are 8 races at Leopardstown and 7 at Sligo on Thursday with 3 highlights.
Leopardstown 5.52: Bahrain Turf Club Desmond Stakes (Group 3)
9: Ylang Ylang: A decent filly who won 3 times in her juvenile career the standout being the Group 1 Fillies Mile at Newmarket. She was a good 5th in the 1000 Guineas on reappearance but couldn't build on that when 6th in the Oaks at Epsom. That run can be overlooked and having had time to recover she should take this.
Sligo 6.05: Kilcawley Construction Rated Novice Hurdle.
4: Rauzan: A useful hurdler who picked up a career best win at Downpatrick 24 days ago. He recovered after being hampered at the 5th travelling well to lead on the run-in, he drew clear easily coming home by 12 lengths. That completed a hat-trick and he can achieve the 4-timer here.
Leopardstown 6.22: Xin Gin Ballyroan Stakes (Group 3)
2: Crystal Black: A progressive horse who made it 4 wins in a row at Royal Ascot 7 weeks ago. He led inside the final furlong beating Epic Poet by 2 1/4 lengths. He should continue his excellent form here and take another victory.
