Leopardstown Race 6 - P.W. McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes (Group 3)

PIERRE BONNARD (1) aims for four-in-a-row. Secured a 2L victory in the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud on final start last season which followed wins at Dundalk AW and Newmarket (Rowley) prior. Leading contender. ITALY (5) disappointed when eighth in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) last October. Only success came at this venue on first career appearance. May bounce back. A BOY NAMED SUSIE (3) bids to turn two runner-up efforts into a triumph having placed second behind the top pick in the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Might reverse placings. CHRISTMAS DAY (2) cannot be discounted after beating the third pick at this track last time out.
