Leopardstown Race 3 - Mongey Communications Eyrefield Stakes (Group 3)
ZARAK PASHA (5) was always doing enough when off the mark tackling the trip at the Curragh. Never better than midfield in the Golden Fleece Stakes G1 last time. This is less demanding and he could be set for a big performance. WALL STREET (4) delivered an encouraging 0.5L debut success at the course with Wayne Lordan aboard. Climbs in distance on return from a short break and looks the main danger. Galway maiden winner LEADLIGHT (3) managed to keep on when getting up late on that occasion. Remains open to progress and cannot be ignored representing notable connections. WUNDERSCHON (6) also makes appeal holding place claims.

Resuming after a break; only one run when won by 0.5 len at this track on August 6 over 1609m defeating Jesus Green with 59.5kg at $8. Hard to fault form and can measure up again.
