Leopardstown Race 1 - Look De Vega At Ballylinch Stud Fillies Maiden
There are many debutants in this maiden a market check could prove a helpful guide. THUNDERING ON (16) showed promise both starts last year with a debut fourth over 1400m at Curragh preceding a 2.75L second in the 1600m heavy ground G3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes. Holds classic entries and drops in grade. Top pick. SKYDANCE (15) brings more experience delivering five outings last season. Placed runner-up in the 1400m G3 Silver Flash Stakes at this venue three runs back. Rates highly. INSTITUTE (9) represents leading connections. Posted a 3.5L second in a 1000m maiden at Dundalk AW last October. Improvement likely. RODEO BLUES (13) rates an interesting newcomer.

Last start 11th of 13 at Curragh on March 28 over 1408m, 29 len behind Lewis Carroll carrying 57.5kg at $251. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.
