Saturday Racing Preview Leopardstown & Doncaster 14/09/24

1.50 Doncaster Group Two Champagne Stakes - Wolf Of Badenoch

Looks overpriced in the market at 7/2 after his eye-catching effort in the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, staying on from the rear after looking green and a little outpaced.

2.15 Leopardstown Group Two Solonaway Stakes - Maljoom

Has been knocking on the door in big mile events this season, finishing 3rd in the Queen Anne Stakes and 2nd in the Sussex Stakes.

2.25 Doncaster Portland Handicap - Apollo One

There’s a big handicap pot in this horse and he just keeps hitting the frame consistently despite his lofty rating of 103.

2.50 Leopardstown Group One Matron Stakes - Porta Fortuna

A strong tussle between two talented fillies, it looks worth siding with Porta Fortuna for the Matron Stakes as she looks to complete a hat trick of group one wins over 8 furlongs.

3.00 Doncaster Group Two Park Stakes - Lead Artist

Kinross doesn’t look the force of old and up and coming 3 year old Lead Artist might just have his measure for the Park Stakes.

3.25 Leopardstown Group One Irish Champion Stakes - Ghostwriter

Has had a slightly frustrating season for connections as the hunt for genuine fast ground has been tricky but connections got their wish in the Juddmonte International where he ran a clear career best to be 3rd.

3.40 Doncaster Group One St Leger - Jan Brueghel

An intriguing renewal of the St Leger sees 7 go to post, with Aidan O’Brien saddling three of the runners, he looks to hold all the cards and seemingly his second string Jan Brueghel looks the one to side with.
