Leopardstown Race 2

Captain Dara Fitzpatrick Memorial Maiden

Prize Money: $31,365

CANNES (4) can make it third time lucky for Joseph O'Brien. This Sea The Stars colt produced a great run when beaten 1.5L attempting a 2000m maiden at Leopardstown. Another 400m to help and he looks a winner in waiting. ALMAZANN (1) was only beaten a head on debut. Can progress from that effort over 2100m at Cork sixteen days ago. Looks a live player. ANTIGUA (3) is fitted with first-time cheekpieces. More is required from his 6.5L defeat at Leopardstown when behind the main selection. COUNT BEZUKHOV (5) is a fascinating debutant. The Wootton Bassett colt is out of G1 German Oaks winner Miss Yoda and warrants a market check.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd of 16 at Cork on April 24 over 2112m, head behind Enceladus carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. Leading contender with that run under his belt.

Was at very long odds at debut, 15th of 18 at Navan on April 25 over 2011m, 20 len behind Latin America with 61kg at $51. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Second-up. Promising on debut 2nd of 20 at Curragh on November 2 over 1609m, on heavy track; 6 len behind James J Braddock carrying 60.5kg at $11. Returned from break 2nd of 11 at this track on April 15 over 2011m, 1.5 len behind Asakir carrying 61kg at $2.40. Fitter and worth following up.
