Leopardstown Race 2 - Boylesports 'Pick Your Place' Handicap
BONUS TIME (1) improved from a debut second at Cork to win by 1.75L at The Curragh. Represents a new trainer wearing first-time tongue tie on handicap debut. Leading contender. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN (2) recorded three top two finishes before finishing fourth in a Naas event. Can bounce back. AVIATRICE (4) is consistent with three placed efforts and a win past four starts including placing 0.75L second at Limerick. Will be thereabouts. JOYFUL PRINCESS (5) was runner-up at Leopardstown three weeks back. Expected to challenge.
