Leopardstown Race 2 - Irish Ebf Median Sires Series Fillies Mdn
SEA OF RAIN (5) placed on three consecutive attempts and was narrowly defeated over course and distance before another solid third here last week. Sets the standard. CHURCHILL BOND (1) debuts for Paddy Twomey after being purchased for a fair sum at Arqana. This Churchill filly who has Billy Lee booked profiles strongly. Main danger. VILLARAY (6) races for Ger Lyons with Colin Keane aboard. Showcasing youngster should be forward enough and makes appeal from this yard. SHERRY EYED (3) represents Jessica Harrington on debut. Pinatubo filly from Midnight Sunshine has enough pedigree depth to feature in a large-field maiden. Cannot be discounted.

First-starter by Pinatubo out of Belle D'or purchased for EUR € 300,000 (Arqana 2026 Breeze Up). One of the chances.

Two-year-old filly who is first starter by Pinatubo out of Midnight Sunshine. Will pay to watch for a betting push.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 12 at this track on July 16 over 1408m, 0.5 len behind Ballyskeagh carrying 55.5kg at $3.80. The start before that 2nd of 15 at Roscommon on June 30 over 1508m, 1.3 len behind Damsel In Distress with 55.5kg at $2.10. Progressing nicely and could prove tough to beat.

Was well in the market at debut, ran second last of 8 at this track on June 11 over 1408m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Pisiffik Ginger carrying 58.5kg at $4.50. Can do better. Worth another chance.

First-starter by Soldier's Call out of Lovely Morning. Hard to recommend without a market push.
