Leopardstown Race 3 - Mongey Communications Eyrefield Stakes (Group 3)
WEMIGHTAKEDLONGWAY (6) progressed from a promising debut to win by 2.5L at Cork. The runner-up was an expensive yearling purchase and the fifth has franked form. Consider with further improvement expected. Wootton Bassett colt THRICE (2) looked a smart prospect winning by 4L at Listowel (1408m). Worn blinkers on all starts so perhaps not the most straightforward. Respect nonetheless. TRINITY COLLEGE (3) sets the standard on form after finishing a 1.75L fourth in a Curragh G2 last start. Obvious claims. Tipperary winner EMIT (1) also warrants consideration.

Going well. Most recently won by 2.5 len at Tipperary October 6 over 1810m on a rain affected track defeating Serious Contender carrying 60.5kg at $2.80. The race before that 3rd of 12 at Curragh on August 31 over 1609m, 3 len behind Acapulco Bay carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. Capable of testing this field.

Useful colt. Most recently in a small field at Curragh in the G2 Beresford Stakes on September 28 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Hotazhell carrying 59.5kg at $4.60. The start before that won by 12 len at Galway September 10 over 1709m defeating Minella Boss with 60.5kg at $1.90. Not far away last time. Key chance on best form and expected to be in the finish.
