Leopardstown Race 3 - King George V Cup (Listed)
ENDORSEMENT (2) should be hard to beat. Ryan Moore is booked which is a positive. Delivered two good runs at G3 level this season including a latest 0.5L third in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial which appears the best form on offer. Could take a step forward for climb in distance while Aidan O'Brien maintains a great record in this race. EMMELEIA (3) holds potential on her third start. Promising when 3.25L third in the G3 Salsabil Stakes during April. Top contender. AMADEUS MOZART (1) is a stablemate of the main selection. This is easier than the G3 Gallinule Stakes and is given a nice chance to bounce back from a 10L seventh. YOUSAYNOTHINGATALL (5) won last time. Respect.
