Leopardstown Race 7 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Nursery Handicap

MONTPELLIER GREEN (2) displayed improvement to win on handicap debut at the Curragh (1408m) last time. Receives a 4.5kg rise. May progress for new trip and jockey claims a valuable allowance. YAMAL (3) proved popular before finishing third on initial nursery outing at Killarney. Competes from an unchanged mark here and first-time blinkers go on. Good claims. MEDICI VENUS (1) gamely landed a rated race over this distance at Listowel. Handicap mark is difficult to assess. Likely in the mix. DESMOND CASTLE (4) finished second behind the main selection last start. Also warrants close consideration

Useful filly. At the latest run won by a nose at Listowel September 24 over 1609m defeating The Marty Party carrying 59kg at $2.90. Before that 2nd of 16 at Galway on September 10 over 1408m, nose behind Tamam Desert with 58.5kg at $5. Heading the right way and should measure up again.
