Leopardstown Race 6 - Horseware Ireland Student Derby Handicap
ZIPSTER (1) produced a fair performance when third a week ago at Gowran Park 5L away. Drawn nicely in stall one and rates highly. TEFFIAN WARRIOR (4) hasn't been seen for six months. Latest performance at Roscommon in October isn't bad form and could play a big role taking on this realistic assignment. STAR MIND (8) continues a long losing streak however did hint promise on the all-weather at Dundalk during March. Could take a step forward revisiting turf. SOME GOOD MEN GONE (3) remains a maiden. Unexposed after just six starts and warrants a market check returning to action representing a stable in form.
