Leopardstown Race 5 - Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes (Group 1)
A mouth-watering clash between the unbeaten ECONOMICS (5) and AUGUSTE RODIN (1) who won this last year. The first mentioned looked a top-notch performer in the making winning the G2 Dante Stakes at York during May and connections might now start reaping the rewards of having taken the patient approach. He made up plenty of ground from off the pace to win the 2000m G2 Prix Guillaume D'Ornano at Deauville returning from a break and can make it four from four this campaign while the latter is trained by Aidan O'Brien and this multiple G1 winner and Prince Of Wales Stakes hero rates the obvious threat though does need to bounce back from a below-par effort in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. Stablemate LOS ANGELES (7) followed up his G1 Irish Derby success with a victory in the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes and must be respected down in trip. GHOSTWRITER (6) warrants each-way consideration.
