17:30 – Irish EBF Median Sires Series Fillies Maiden (IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 7f | | Going: SOFT | | flat
This looks a fascinating opening juvenile maiden rather than a deep one, with the market understandably centring on the two fillies who have already shown something on the track. Cashel Queen has obvious appeal for Donnacha O’Brien despite making her debut, but the solid piece of evidence on offer belongs to Pisiffik Ginger, who shaped with promise when fourth first time up and sets the standard on the published figures. Star Glory also has experience and Colin Keane aboard, so she can’t be dismissed lightly, while several newcomers from respected yards could improve the picture considerably over this 7f on soft ground. The testing surface should place the emphasis on professionalism and stamina, and in that regard proven racecourse experience could count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Pisiffik Ginger – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington | Form: 4 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 47
There was plenty to like about Pisiffik Ginger’s debut fourth and, in a race where most of these are still complete unknowns, that experience is a major asset. She brings the best rating in the field, has already shown enough pace to cope with this level, and the step into a 7f maiden on soft ground looks likely to suit rather than inconvenience her. Harrington’s youngsters usually come forward for a run, and Shane Foley is exactly the sort you want on a filly who should know more second time out. At 11/4 she isn’t missed by the market, but she still makes plenty of appeal as the one with the most convincing profile.
Bet: WIN
2. Celtic Moon – 17/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jamie Powell | Trainer: J P Murtagh | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Celtic Moon looks the interesting each-way alternative in a race where the obvious pair dominate the betting. Murtagh is more than capable of readying a sharp juvenile for a Leopardstown maiden, and this filly gets in with just 125, which could matter if this turns into a proper slog in the closing stages. Drawn 4, she should have every chance of getting a sensible trip, and the 17/2 on offer makes more appeal than taking cramped odds about an unraced favourite. In a contest with several debutantes, siding with a well-bred newcomer from a yard that knows the job can be a smart way to play it.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Pisiffik Ginger is the percentage call and looks the right win bet given she has already posted the strongest piece of form in the line-up. For an each-way punt, Celtic Moon appeals at a fairer price than some of the other unexposed types. Cashel Queen is the obvious danger if the market confidence proves justified, while Star Glory is another who could step forward from her debut.

18:00 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden
Race Details: 7f | | Going: SOFT | | flat
This looks a maiden with a fairly obvious shape to it. Cromac Quay sets the standard on what we’ve seen, arriving off form figures of 3-2 and a lofty rating of 96, and she is the one the rest have to aim at. Blooming Rose is the intriguing debutante from Joseph O’Brien’s yard and the market expects a bold show, while Expert Dancer has the benefit of experience and a solid enough level of form without quite looking bombproof. Slaney View has been around the block a bit more and is capable of getting involved if bouncing back. With plenty of exposed outsiders and a handful of unexposed types, it is not the deepest maiden on paper, but the soft ground adds just enough uncertainty to stop it being a penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. Cromac Quay – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington | Form: 32 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 59
She brings the standout form into the race and, frankly, it would be disappointing if she couldn’t get the job done here. Second on her latest start after making the frame on debut, Cromac Quay has already shown a level that most of these have not got near, and that mark of 96 towers over the field. Harrington’s fillies usually learn with racing, and Shane Foley is an uncomplicated booking for one who should be ridden positively from a fair draw. Odds around 11/10 are not flashy, but they are perfectly fair given the substance of her profile. She is the one with strong claims and the solid win play.
Bet: WIN
2. Expert Dancer – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ben Coen | Trainer: Andrew Slattery | Form: 43-337 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 78
There is no mystery to her, but that is not a bad thing in a race where plenty are either exposed at a low level or entirely untested. Expert Dancer has been kept to useful enough company and her sequence of runs suggests she should give her running again. The topspeed figure of 78 is one of the better numbers on offer, and if this turns into a proper test in the soft ground, that race fitness and honesty could count for plenty. Ben Coen is a positive booking and at 9/2 she makes more appeal as an each-way punt than some of the shorter-priced unknowns. She looks the sensible alternative to the favourite.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Cromac Quay is the straightforward win bet because she has the best form and the best rating, simple as that. For an each-way angle, Expert Dancer appeals as the battle-hardened option who should cope with conditions and run her race. Blooming Rose is the obvious danger on debut, while Slaney View could nick a place if returning to her better efforts.

18:30 – GAIN The Advantage Series Handicap
Race Details: 7f | | Going: SOFT | | flat
This is a proper Leopardstown handicap with plenty of moving parts rather than an easy numbers job. The three-year-olds dominate the market and with some justification: Only One Scobie arrives on the back of a win and is clearly thriving, while Meriden has rattled off back-to-back victories and Fortuity also comes here on an upward curve from a good draw. The older brigade are not without hope, though, and Dinamine makes more appeal than most of them given his solid recent third and strong Topspeed figure. Soft ground over 7f should put the emphasis on balance and finishing effort, and in a 16-runner field the draw and luck in running will matter. It looks competitive, but not impossible to solve, with the younger improvers still the ones to beat.
Top Selections
1. Fortuity – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington | Form: 99-021 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 56
Fortuity is the one I want on side. He got off the mark last time and did it in the manner of a horse who is learning quickly rather than one that has reached its ceiling. He is still lightly raced compared to plenty of these, gets in here with just 128, and stall 1 could be a real asset if Shane Foley can hold a handy position and keep things simple. Harrington’s three-year-olds are often well placed once they get the hang of the job, and this mark of 71 does not look beyond him at all. At 7/1 with Bet365, he looks the right mix of upside and value. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Dinamine – 11/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Wesley Joyce | Trainer: Michael Mulvany | Form: 531-03 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 69
Dinamine is the each-way play in a race where proven toughness still counts for plenty. His recent third suggested he is coming to the boil again, and that Topspeed mark of 69 is one of the best on offer here, which immediately catches the eye in a soft-ground 7f handicap. He is an eight-year-old, so there are no secrets, but that also means you know what you are getting: a seasoned handicapper who can travel and keep finding. Wesley Joyce knows him well enough, and from stall 9 he should have options rather than being trapped on one wing. At 11/1, he looks overpriced to hit the frame and has enough class to threaten the lot. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Fortuity is the win bet because he looks a progressive three-year-old with a fair mark, a good draw and more to come. Dinamine is the each-way punt at double-figure odds, especially with five places on offer, as he has the profile of a reliable late runner in this sort of race. The obvious dangers are Only One Scobie and Meriden, both of whom come here in winning form and demand respect.

19:00 – Ballycorus Stakes (Group 3)
Race Details: 7f | | Going: SOFT | | flat
There’s a fair bit of intrigue to this Ballycorus, even if the market looks ready to make it all about Native Warrior. He brings the best rating into the race and sets the standard on paper, but this is no penalty kick on soft ground around Leopardstown. East Hampton arrives off a solid comeback second and has enough class to make the favourite work, while Celestial Orbit is another with the ability to get involved if bouncing back from a lesser run. The three-year-olds Oh Cecelia and Redemption Road receive weight and that always makes these Group races interesting, especially over 7f. It’s a decent little Group 3 rather than a vintage one, and that makes it competitive enough to look beyond the obvious for some each-way value.
Top Selections
1. Native Warrior – 11/10 with Bet365
Jockey: James Doyle | Trainer: K R Burke | Form: 115-27 | Rating: 120 | Topspeed: 92
He’s the class act in the line-up and, unlike a few of these, he doesn’t need much squinting at to make the case. A mark of 120 puts him clear at the top of this field and his 2025 form was strong enough to suggest a Group 3 of this nature is well within range. The recent seventh is hardly ideal at first glance, but it came in deeper company than this and I’m inclined to forgive it rather than overreact. James Doyle is a notable booking and if Native Warrior handles the soft as well as expected, he simply has the strongest claims. At around 11/10, he’s short enough, but still hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
2. Oh Cecelia – 11/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: K J Condon | Form: 615132 | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 101
She’s the one that makes most each-way appeal in a race where the older horses don’t look bombproof beneath the favourite. Oh Cecelia gets in with just 122lb as a three-year-old and already has a very respectable rating of 112, so she’s not sneaking in here on reputation alone. Her recent sequence suggests she’s thriving, and that topspeed figure of 101 says she has the raw pace to cope with this level. Drawn in stall 1, Shane Foley should be able to get her into a handy rhythm, and at 11/1 she looks overpriced for a filly arriving with momentum and weight on her side.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Native Warrior is the win bet because he has the best form and the best rating in the race. For those wanting a bit more value, Oh Cecelia makes plenty of sense each-way with her low weight and progressive profile. East Hampton is the obvious danger if building on that latest second, while Celestial Orbit is capable of better than he showed last time.

19:30 – Bulmers Live Apprentice Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: SOFT | | flat
This is a tight little apprentice handicap rather than a deep one, and the shape of it revolves around whether the classier topweights can give away lumps of weight to a couple of better-treated rivals at the foot. Abbey Actress makes obvious appeal after running well in stronger company and looks the solid one, while Moyassr arrives off a win and gets in here with just 119lb, which immediately puts him on the shortlist. Coeur d’Or still retains enough ability to be competitive despite his age, but conceding weight on soft ground at 10 is no easy task. Vega’s Muse is capable if bouncing back, though her latest run was too limp to trust blindly. Tricky enough, but not impenetrable.
Top Selections
1. Abbey Actress – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Patrick McGettigan | Trainer: J P Murtagh | Form: /1-326 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 76
Abbey Actress looks the percentage call. Her recent form reads well in the context of this race, and that 3 and 2 before a slightly lesser effort last time still mark her down as one arriving with the most persuasive current profile. She is nicely drawn in stall 1, carries a workable 135lb and, crucially, doesn’t need to improve a ton to take this. Murtagh’s runners are rarely here for the scenery in these handicaps, and she has the profile of one who should cope with this sort of test. At 2/1 she is no giveaway, but she is the one with the fewest questions to answer. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Moyassr – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Reese Holohan | Trainer: Paul W Flynn | Form: 150051 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 81
Moyassr makes plenty of each-way appeal because he comes here in winning form and is very hard to ignore off just 119lb. That latest success suggested he is still very much capable when things fall right, and his Topspeed figure of 81 is one of the more attractive numbers in the line-up. The slight concern is whether the handicapper has him exactly where he wants him now, but in a race lacking depth he doesn’t need to be thrown in to go close. If he handles conditions as well again, his light weight could become a major factor late on. Around 7/2 is fair for an each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Abbey Actress is the straight win play because she brings the most reliable recent form and looks the one they all have to beat. Moyassr is the each-way alternative, with his low weight and latest win making him a very plausible place candidate. Coeur d’Or is the obvious danger if class carries him through, but age and burden temper enthusiasm.

20:00 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: SOFT | | flat
This is a proper Leopardstown handicap rather than a gift, with 14 fillies lining up and a few arriving with persuasive bits of recent form. Spanish Temptress has been knocking on the door and is easy to see why she heads the market, while Electric Beauty brings the most reliable recent profile and Great Mover is interesting back in calmer waters after shaping okay in stronger company. Marmeladova is well treated on ratings and not easily dismissed, and Lamberella is the lightly weighted three-year-old who could outrun her price if handling conditions. The soft ground and how they settle over this 1m1f look likely to decide plenty, because there are several here who have looked a little one-paced rather than straightforward. Tricky enough, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Electric Beauty – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Wesley Joyce | Trainer: Michael Mulvany | Form: 120432 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 77
Electric Beauty is the one I keep coming back to because she is actually running like a mare ready to cash in. Her recent figures are rock-solid, she arrives off a close second, and that consistency matters in a race where plenty have a question to answer. An 82 mark still looks workable judged on the way she has been finishing her races, and this trip on soft ground should be well within range if she gets a sensible pace to aim at. Wesley Joyce knows her well enough and, at 4/1, she makes more appeal than some shorter-priced handicap regulars who have had plenty of chances. Bet type: win.
Bet: WIN
2. Great Mover – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: W McCreery | Form: -05663 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 76
Great Mover is not exactly hiding from the assessor, but she has started to look much more interesting off 84 and her latest third suggested she is coming to the boil at the right time. W J Lee is a notable booking in races like this and McCreery’s runners in these fillies’ handicaps always warrant respect. She has a good draw in five, carries only 132, and looks the type to travel handily without wasting energy, which is often no bad thing round here on soft ground. At 7/2 she is not a wild price, but with four places on offer she still makes plenty of each-way sense. Bet type: each-way.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Electric Beauty is the win play because her recent profile is the cleanest in the race and she looks ready to strike. Great Mover is the each-way option, with the draw, jockey and recent uptick in form all positives in a 14-runner handicap. The obvious danger is Spanish Temptress, who is hard to knock on recent placed efforts, while Marmeladova could also get involved if building on her comeback win.

This is a proper Leopardstown handicap puzzle to close the card, with 22 runners, soft ground and plenty arriving with bits of form that make them tempting. Rodeo Blues heads the market after a better effort when fourth and he’s one of the more interesting 3yo runners getting in light, while Khormor Syd has been knocking loudly on the door and looks sure to be popular again. Launch Time, Desert Of The Sea and last-time-out winner Nibras Rainbow all have realistic claims as well, but this doesn’t look a deep race full of hidden stars so much as a rough, competitive handicap where positioning and handling the ground will matter a lot. In that sort of contest, I’d rather side with horses arriving in solid nick than chase something speculative.
Top Selections
1. Khormor Syd – 5/1 with Betfair
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: Gillian Scott | Form: 079-22 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 56
Khormor Syd makes plenty of appeal because he’s one of the few in here bringing genuinely reliable recent handicap form. Those back-to-back second-place finishes suggest his turn is near, and a mark of 62 still looks workable if he reproduces that level. W J Lee is the sort of rider you want in a big-field Leopardstown handicap, and this horse has at least shown he’s in the mood rather than needing everything to fall right. At 5/1 he isn’t exactly thrown in, but he does look the percentage call in a race where many have questions attached. He holds strong claims of finally getting his head in front.
Bet: WIN
2. Desert Of The Sea – 11/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Sadhbh Tormey | Trainer: T G McCourt | Form: 4-2327 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 61
Desert Of The Sea looks the each-way value. He has been running well in defeat for a while now, with form figures of 232 before a slightly less convincing seventh last time, and the key point is that his overall profile says he’s competitive off this sort of mark. His Topspeed figure of 61 is among the better numbers in the field and he gets in with just 122, which is no bad thing on soft ground in a race that could turn attritional late on. Around 11/1 feels fair for a horse who should be involved if bouncing back to his previous level, and six places only strengthen the case for an each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Khormor Syd is the win play because he comes here in the best recent form and looks the safest option in a race full of unreliable types. Desert Of The Sea is the each-way alternative at a bigger price, with his consistent earlier efforts making him attractive for the extended place terms. The obvious dangers are Rodeo Blues, who is lightly raced and open to more progress, and Launch Time, who is unexposed enough to be a factor.
