16:58 – Frank Conroy Irish EBF Maiden
Race Details: 1m | | Going: GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering) | | flat
This looks a fairly informative little 2yo maiden rather than a guessing contest, with Shakespeare bringing the standout piece of form after making the frame on debut and setting a clear standard on the published figures. Aidan O’Brien also runs Darkness Falls, while G M Lyons saddles Highest Order and Joseph O’Brien relies on Green Dreamer, who at least has racecourse experience after finishing fifth first time up. Over a mile at Leopardstown, professionalism counts for plenty, and that is where Shakespeare has a major edge. The unknowns among the newcomers could easily improve past their opening odds, but on what we know now the favourite is hard to oppose and the value angle may lie with one of the better-bred debutants rather than the exposed outsiders.
Top Selections
1. Shakespeare – 5/6 with William Hill
Jockey: Ryan Moore | Trainer: A P O’Brien | Form: 3 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 62
Shakespeare sets the standard and, in a race where most of these are still learning on the job, that counts for plenty. His debut third already gives him a solid platform, and the Topspeed figure of 62 towers over the rest of this field. Ryan Moore keeps the ride for Ballydoyle, which is never a negative signal in this type of maiden, and the move up to a mile should suit on pedigree and running style. At 5/6 he is no giveaway, but he looks the most likely winner by some margin if taking the normal step forward from first to second start. Bet type: straightforward win material.
Bet: WIN
2. Highest Order – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Colin Keane | Trainer: G M Lyons | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
If you want something against the favourite for an each-way play, Highest Order makes most appeal. He comes from a yard more than capable of readying a smart juvenile first time, and booking Colin Keane in a race like this immediately catches the eye. In a seven-runner field you do not need to get too clever with the outsiders, and this one looks the type most likely to be straight enough to hold his position behind the obvious one. Available at 5/1, he is not exactly hidden from the market, but that price still makes some sense for a debutant with connections this strong in a race lacking depth beyond the principals.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Shakespeare is the win bet because he brings the best form and should improve for that debut. For an each-way punt, Highest Order is the one to side with on stable strength and jockey booking in a small but useful maiden. Green Dreamer is the obvious danger among those with experience, while Darkness Falls is the O’Brien second string worth monitoring in the market.

17:33 – Irish EBF Median Sires Series Fillies Maiden (IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 7f | | Going: GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering) | | flat
This looks a fairly informative juvenile maiden rather than a throwaway summer puzzle, with solid racecourse form on one side and some notable yards ready to unleash newcomers on the other. Sea Of Rain sets the standard on what she has actually done, arriving with a consistent 4223 profile and the best published rating in the field, but she has had four goes now and doesn’t look bombproof. Churchill Bond is the obvious threat from a top stable and the market has latched onto her, while Villaray adds further intrigue for the Lyons-Keane combination. Behind the principals, Violet Be Humble shaped with promise on debut and could easily outrun double-figure odds. This should be decided by whether proven form can hold off the better-bred improvers.
Top Selections
1. Sea Of Rain – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Declan McDonogh | Trainer: J S Bolger | Form: 4223 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 66
She’s the one with the proper body of work and, in a maiden full of guesswork, that counts for plenty. Sea Of Rain has been knocking on the door, finishing second twice before another respectable placed effort last time, and an 86 rating is comfortably the best piece of evidence on offer here. The slight concern is that she has become a touch expensive to follow, but this 7f on decent ground should suit and Bolger juveniles are rarely short of toughness. At 9/4 she isn’t exactly hidden from view, but she sets the standard and the others need to prove they can get past her. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Violet Be Humble – 14/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rory Cleary | Trainer: Sean Davis | Form: 4 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 26
For an each-way play, Violet Be Humble makes plenty of appeal at the prices. A debut fourth in this sort of company is often better than it looks on paper, especially in a fillies’ maiden where natural improvement from first to second run can be sharp. Her 84 rating suggests that initial effort had substance, and while the topspeed figure doesn’t scream future winner, this extra experience could be a major asset against several unraced rivals. She doesn’t need to find masses to hit the frame and 14/1 feels a fair bit bigger than it should be if she steps forward as expected. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Sea Of Rain is the percentage call on the strength of her form and looks the sensible win bet, even if she’s had a few chances. For a bit more value, Violet Be Humble is the each-way punt at double-figure odds after a promising debut. The main dangers are obvious enough: Churchill Bond from the Twomey yard and Villaray for Lyons and Keane, both of whom could be above-average newcomers.

18:08 – Saudi Cup Silver Flash Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies)
Race Details: 7f | | Going: GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering) | | flat
This revolves around Alpha, and rightly so. Aidan O’Brien’s filly already has a big figure beside her name and looked a proper Group performer when winning on her second start, so the others need to find plenty. Green Empress is the obvious threat on ratings after two solid runner-up efforts and she’s the one with the profile of a filly who could improve again now tackling this level. Joseph O’Brien also runs Blonde Over Blue and Dancing Destiny, with the former particularly interesting after making a winning debut, though this is a much deeper assignment. The non-runner has taken one out of the field, and in truth that leaves this looking less a fiendish puzzle than a race where the favourite sets the standard and the rest are fighting for minor honours unless one takes a sizeable step forward.
Top Selections
1. Alpha – 2/5 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Moore | Trainer: A P O’Brien | Form: 21 | Rating: 118 | Topspeed: 113
She is already operating at a level the others have only hinted at. A mark of 118 and Topspeed of 113 stand out massively in this line-up, and that second-start win suggested she has both class and professionalism. Ryan Moore staying aboard for Ballydoyle is no surprise, and over 7f on decent ground she looks to have the ideal platform to confirm herself a high-class juvenile filly. At 2/5 you’re not stealing anything from the layers, but sometimes the obvious answer is the right one and she is very hard to oppose on what we’ve seen so far. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Green Empress – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: Dylan Browne McMonagle | Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien | Form: 22 | Rating: 109 | Topspeed: 93
She looks the sensible each-way alternative to the hot favourite. Two silver medals don’t scream star quality, but a rating of 109 says she’s already done plenty right, and she brings a solid level of form into a race where several of these are still guessing. Joseph O’Brien’s juveniles can progress quickly with racing, and this filly has the shape of one who will be suited by a strongly run 7f. Available at 10/3, she’s not exactly hiding from the market, but in a seven-runner field she appeals as the one most likely to chase Alpha home if the favourite runs to form. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward. Alpha is the clear win play and looks the class act in the field. For an each-way punt, Green Empress makes most appeal as the solid alternative with the right rating and profile. Blonde Over Blue is the one I’d fear most if there is to be a surprise, while Dancing Destiny needs another chunk of improvement in a hurry.

18:43 – Japan Racing Association Tyros Stakes (Group 3)
Race Details: 7f | | Going: GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering) | | flat
This is a compact but fascinating Tyros, with the market understandably centred on the Ballydoyle pair Aix La Chapelle and Florida Bay, while Joseph O’Brien throws in the progressive Folsom Blues as the obvious alternative. Aix La Chapelle looked a smart colt in the making when scoring on debut and Ryan Moore is an eyecatching booking, but he does have to prove himself at this higher level over 7f. Florida Bay brings the best rating into the race and already has a bit more experience, though he was only fourth last time. Folsom Blues arrives off a win and looks the type still learning fast. In a six-runner race lacking depth behind the principals, class should tell, but it is not quite the penalty kick the favourite’s price suggests.
Top Selections
1. Folsom Blues – 11/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Dylan Browne McMonagle | Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien | Form: 31 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 50
Folsom Blues gets the vote because he looks the one with the most upside at a price worth taking. He stepped forward from his debut third to win next time, which is exactly the progression you want to see from a 2yo heading into a race like this, and Joseph O’Brien’s youngsters often sharpen up plenty with racing. His mark of 96 leaves him with a bit to find on bare figures against Florida Bay, but the manner of his improvement suggests he is not done yet. Available at 11/4, he makes more appeal than the short-priced favourite if this turns into a proper test of professionalism and stamina at 7f. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Florida Bay – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Wayne Lordan | Trainer: A P O’Brien | Form: 314 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 84
Florida Bay is the each-way angle simply because he brings the strongest established form to the table and his rating of 104 is comfortably the best in the field. That gives him solid place claims even if one of the less exposed sorts improves past him. The slight concern is obvious enough: he was only fourth last time and doesn’t come here with the same sexy profile as stablemate Aix La Chapelle. Even so, this colt has already shown a useful level, his Topspeed figure backs that up, and Wayne Lordan is more than capable of making this a tactical affair. At 11/2, he looks a sensible each-way punt in a race where plenty of the others have a lot to prove. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Folsom Blues is the win play at 11/4 because he looks progressive and may still have more in hand than the market gives him credit for. Florida Bay is the each-way option on proven form and the best rating in the line-up. Aix La Chapelle is the clear danger and could easily be very good, but at odds-on he is short enough in a race where he still has to confirm the debut promise.

19:18 – Dublin To Bahrain Race Series Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering) | | flat
This is a tidy little Leopardstown handicap rather than an easy one to solve, with several arriving in decent nick and not much between them on official figures. Kilcrea Rock and Wild Sapphire both come here off wins and are obvious players, while Dark Viper shaped well when second last time and has the sort of profile that makes him dangerous from a low draw. Manton Bay heads the market and gets weight as a 3yo, but stall 9 is no gift over this trip and he may need to be a bit better than his mark. Apercu is threatening to strike as well, so this is no penalty kick. In truth, it looks a proper handicap where tactical position and who gets first run could easily decide it.
Top Selections
1. Dark Viper – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington | Form: 068852 | Rating: 98 | Topspeed: 87
Dark Viper looks the percentage call. He ran his best race for a while when runner-up last time, and that effort suggested he is ready to cash in if building on it here. The 87 Topspeed figure is one of the best in the field, which matters in a race where a few of these are closely matched on handicap marks, and the inside draw should help Shane Foley hold a handy position. Harrington’s runner has been contesting decent races without quite getting his head in front, but this setup looks workable. Available at 5/1, he makes plenty of appeal as the one most likely to run his race.
Bet: WIN
2. Apercu – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: A Oliver | Form: 5-4802 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 63
Apercu is the each-way play at the prices after shaping like a horse ready to strike when second on his latest start. He has not been the easiest to catch right, but that run was a definite step back in the right direction and a mark of 93 gives him room if reproducing it. W J Lee is a positive booking in these Leopardstown handicaps, and stall 5 should allow him to slot in without burning petrol early. At 8/1, he looks a fair bit more interesting than some shorter in the market, especially in a race where several of the principals have questions to answer. He looks a solid each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Dark Viper is the win play after that encouraging second and looks well drawn to get the run of the race. Apercu is the each-way alternative at a more attractive price, especially with three places on offer in a nine-runner field. Kilcrea Rock and Wild Sapphire are the obvious dangers, while Manton Bay has ability but may need to overcome a tricky outside draw.

19:53 – Dubai Racing Carnival Rated Race
Race Details: 1m 5f | | Going: GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering) | | flat
A four-runner rated race rarely leaves much room for hiding places, and this looks a tidy little tactical contest rather than a deep one. Keepsgettingbetter sets the standard on official figures and topspeed, and his recent run of form suggests he has the most solid body of evidence coming into this step up to 1m5f. Handshake is the interesting unknown after making a winning debut and could easily improve again, while Wyman and Lord Aus both arrive off wins and are not coming here for exercise. Still, in a small field like this, proven level and the ability to travel and quicken off what may not be a searching gallop usually count for plenty. It is not an impossible race to solve, but the unexposed Handshake gives it a slightly tricky edge.
Top Selections
1. Keepsgettingbetter – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Gavin Ryan | Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien | Form: -01132 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 90
He makes the most appeal because he brings the strongest established form into the race and does not need to prove he belongs in this grade. That mark of 94 is clear best in the field, and his recent sequence of two wins followed by placed efforts says he has been holding his form well rather than bouncing from one big run to the next. The topspeed figure of 90 backs that up nicely. In a race where Handshake could be anything, I would still rather side with the runner who has already shown a proper level of ability, especially at 3/1 with Bet365. He looks the percentage call if this turns tactical. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only four runners, this is strictly a win-only race and Keepsgettingbetter is the one to be with. He has the best rating, the best topspeed and the most dependable profile. Handshake is the obvious danger after that winning debut, while Wyman and Lord Aus both need respecting after recent successes, but the value angle is with the proven class horse at 3/1.

20:28 – Turkish Jockey Club Handicap
Race Details: 1m 7f | | Going: GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering) | | flat
This looks a winnable staying handicap rather than a deep one, and that makes recent reliability especially important. Tatum heads the market after a solid third last time and is the obvious starting point, while Jurality has been knocking on the door all summer and brings a likeable profile despite a wide draw. Party Dress is respected on the figures, particularly on topspeed, but still has to prove she can finish the job after a couple of underwhelming efforts before her latest fourth. Friary Road shaped well enough on return to enter the argument too. With only nine runners, this is tactical as much as it is about raw stamina, and I’d rather side with the runners arriving in form than try to revive one of the more exposed outsiders.
Top Selections
1. Tatum – 5/2 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Paddy Harnett | Trainer: Noel Meade | Form: 21-753 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 57
Tatum is the percentage call. He has been running with credit in this sort of company, and that latest third suggested this trip is bringing out a bit more resolution in him. Off a mark of 73, he doesn’t look thrown in, but he does look solid, and in a race lacking depth that counts for plenty. Noel Meade’s runner has the profile of one who should be able to hold a position and grind this out better than most. At 5/2 he is hardly a secret, but there’s no point getting cute when the likeliest winner is staring you in the face. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Jurality – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Leigh Roche | Trainer: Paul W Flynn | Form: 532125 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 62
Jurality makes plenty of each-way appeal because she keeps turning up and running her race. That form string is exactly what you want to see in a contest like this: consistent, competitive and clearly thriving in staying handicaps. Her rating of 67 leaves less margin for error than some, but she’s been outperforming that mark often enough to think she can do so again. The draw in 9 is not ideal around here over this trip, yet if Leigh Roche can get her settled early she ought to be finishing stronger than plenty of these. At 4/1, she looks the value alternative to the favourite.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Tatum is the straightforward win play and the one I’d want on my side if the race is run honestly. For an each-way punt, Jurality is the solid option because her recent form is the most dependable in the field outside the favourite. Party Dress is the obvious danger if building on her latest run, while Friary Road is another with place claims.
