So close with Third Half yesterday evening, another few strides and he would have got up.
Good racing at Leopardstown today, and for me Lightening Pearl is the stand out in the Group 3 Fillies race.  If the rain stays away, the ground will be firm enough for her.  If the ground won't suit, then she won't run, so I think we're safe to back her today at a good price.  Also, watch for a trademark powerful finish from Alanza, with an opportunity to back at a better price in running, for those so inclined.

Four selections today:
