Leopardstown Race 4 - Boylesports Smart Racecard Rated Race
MISSISSIPPI RIVER (1) represents top connections. Maintains a consistent record including a 2.5L second attempting this journey in a Naas handicap a month ago. Leading contender. MATHAN (2) showed promise this year with a 1400m maiden victory at the Curragh preceding a 1400m second at Gowran Park. Rates highly. JA'MARR (7) indicated ability when a good third tackling 1800m in a handicap here. Shortlist on best form. SIR JEREMY (8) placed 0.75L second over 1400m at Fairyhouse two weeks back. Holds claims.

Second run back. First-up after eight months 4th of 11 at Curragh on May 24 over 1408m, 3 len behind Iceford carrying 56.5kg at $9. Previously second-up won by 1.3 len at Great Yarmouth September 19 over 1609m defeating Wine Dark Sea with 60.5kg at $15. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.
