Leopardstown Race 2

Student Style Awards (C & G) Maiden

Prize Money: $31,365

ASAKIR (2) is a typically well-bred runner for the Aga Khan stud. Finished third on debut three weeks ago. That was on heavy ground and could appreciate this sounder surface. Not to be taken lightly. CANNES (5) caught the eye after being prominent in the run on debut at the Curragh during November contesting a 1600m event. This step up in trip might suit and rates highly. BIENNALE (4) represents the most powerful connections and brings a striking pedigree. Wears a tongue-strap for this debut. Serious contender. WYMAN (11) will be of interest tackling handicaps in the future and is best watched adopting a first time tongue-strap.

Third race start. First start second last of 13 at Listowel on September 23 over 1408m, on rain affected going; 18 len behind Straight Up with 60.5kg at $11. Went for a spell before returning second last of 13 at Gowran Park on April 8 over 1408m, on a slow track; 21 len behind Bobby Mcgee with 61kg at $51. Will need more time.
