Leopardstown Race 2 - Leopardstown Golf & Driving Range Apprentice Handicap

LOVE BILLY BOY (2) improved markedly to register a success by a neck over 1207m at Naas last time. Selected to maintain the upward progression advancing in distance. FORT VEGA (3) performed creditably when defeated 0.5L finishing runner-up tackling 1609m at Limerick on latest outing. Main danger. SHOOT TO KILL (8) won attempting 1508m at Roscommon and warrants consideration. DARK VIPER (10) can fill fourth spot.

Second-up. First-up after six months ran last of 18 at Curragh on May 24 over 1609m, 13 len behind Skukuza with 61kg at $34. Previously second-up 5th of 14 at Curragh on May 24 2024 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind State Actor with 60.5kg at $10. Can do much better this time with the run under his belt.

Useful type. Comes off a 38 day let-up. At the latest run won by a neck at Naas April 28 over 1207m defeating Moltophino with 58.5kg at $5.50. The race before that 6th of 15 at Naas on March 23 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind Hurricane Ivor with 62kg at $2.40. Found his best form now. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Useful gelding. Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 16 at Limerick on April 25 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Evening Blossom carrying 61kg at $3. The start before that 3rd of 15 at Curragh on March 29 over 1609m, slow going 2.25 len behind Indigo Five with 59kg at $3.80. Big chance with a repeat of the latest effort.

Last start 18th of 20 at Curragh on May 24 over 1408m, 11 len behind Goal Exceeded with 60.5kg at $15. Can't recommend on that form, looking to others.

Second-up. First-up after five months 11th of 20 at Curragh on May 24 over 1408m, 6 len behind Goal Exceeded carrying 55.5kg at $12. Previously second-up won by 1.0 len at Dundalk All Weather October 4 over 1408m defeating Mags carrying 61kg at $3.10. Capable of improvement but others still far more appealing.
