Leinster Race 2 - Shire Of Leonora (Bm56+)
MAGIC MONEY (7) brings the most persuasive recent form, with a second at Pakenham Synthetic over 1200m when beaten just under a length after racing close enough and being pipped late. His Ballarat Synthetic fourth in BM56 company two back also had merit, and the weight relief helps offset the first look at 1000m and the switch of state. SANCTIONS (9) resumes after three months and has enough profile to be a genuine danger, having placed two of three this season and shown a reliable record on good tracks despite still searching for a win around this trip. CASINO ROYALE (3) is the solid race-fit option, with consecutive thirds and a prior win at around 1000m, so he appeals as the runner most likely to hold his form. INTOXICATING (2) has to rebound from a plain last-start seventh, but her Mingenew second two runs ago keeps her in the mix for a minor share if she sharpens back up. POWER TO RULE (4) won't be far away.

Drops from BM64+ grade after finishing sixth at Leonora last week, beaten five lengths after settling rearward and never getting close to Dublin Red. The start prior was a similar story in a BM62+ at Mingenew, where he was beaten nine lengths at generous odds. Betting around him.

Had market respect at Leonora last week but finished last in a BM64+, beaten six and a half lengths after settling well back and failing to make ground. Her Mingenew second two starts ago was much better, beaten a long neck in a BM48+ after covering ground and working home evenly. Can bounce back.

Comes through two sound thirds, most recently at Leonora when beaten a length and a half after travelling well behind the leaders and holding his ground. The Mingenew run prior was similar, again beaten a length and a half as an outside chance in betting. Solid place profile.

Comes off a last-start Leonora win, beating Alotofbanter by a neck over 1200m after leading to the turn and holding on late at generous odds. That was a clear turnaround from his Broome eighth two runs back, where he was beaten just over nine lengths in BM50+ grade. Can keep the ball rolling.

Worked home respectably for fourth in a BM48+ at Mingenew, beaten two lengths at big odds after settling midfield and picking up late. The concern is that he rises in grade from that and had been well held at Junction the run prior, beaten just under seven lengths. Looking to others.

Was safely held at Kalgoorlie last start, finishing eighth and beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds after tracking the lead and failing to come on. Her Kununurra seventh two back was more competitive, beaten just over three lengths after sitting behind the leaders. Looking elsewhere.

Returns from a two-month freshening after going under by just under a length at Pakenham Synthetic over 1200m, where he sat close enough and was pipped late by King's Coronation. His Ballarat Synthetic fourth in BM56 grade two back also had merit after charging home from well back. Weight relief helps and he sets the standard.

Was officially last in a small-field Open at Landor last start, though the margin reads as a photo finish, and she had carried 73kg. Two days earlier she finished fourth in another Landor Open, beaten nine lengths, so the recent pattern is mixed. Hard to be in her corner.

Returns from a three-month break after closing her last campaign with a third at Broome over 1200m, beaten seven and a half lengths after coming from well back to pick up tired runners. The run prior at Broome was only fair when sixth in BM50+ company. Genuine danger fresh.
