SHAMROCK MADE IT 5 PERFECT DAYS FROM THE LAST SIX: One bet yesterday, the nap GLENS MELODY (WON 8/11) on a card where SHAMROCK was patient and waited for the last race of the day. His current NAPS sequence now reads: 110111202210111011
This evening’s meeting at Leopardstown is set to go ahead as scheduled following a precautionary inspection at 1pm.
The Foxrock venue has been hit by heavy rain during the past 24 hours, prompting Irish Turf Club officials to check on conditions.
But with the course still raceable and the rain due to clear, they were happy to give the meeting the green light.
Turf Club press officer Cliff Noone said: “The meeting goes ahead, but they’ve changed the ground to heavy.
“They had quite a bit of rain this morning and it is still drizzling away now, but it is due to clear later on so they are good to race.”
There are two Listed races on the card and the ground is clearly now going to be the major factor.
In the Nijinksy Stakes at 6.35 Aidan O’Brien saddles two and the pick is the experienced Tower Rock, who has already shown form on soft ground when chasing home Light Heavy in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial Stakes. That was a Group 2, and he should collect in this company assuming none of the lighter raced rivals show big improvement – which can’t be dismissed totally.
SHAMROCK’S BETS:
NAP: Tower Rock (6.35 Leopardstown)
