Leopardstown Race 6

Tonybet Solonaway Stakes (Group 2)

Prize Money: $335,714

SKUKUZA (5) won twice in Ireland this season. Recorded a close third contesting the 1800m G3 Strensall Stakes at York (UK) three weeks ago. Serious player. ALAKAZI (6) maintains a promising profile after a 0.5L second in the course and distance G3 Desmond Stakes last month. Rates highly. Winner that day was JOHAN (2) who often shows best form on soft going. Might feature. COMANCHE BRAVE (7) won over 1400m at Naas during July. Looks one to note.

Resuming second last of 10 at Curragh in the G2 Rmnsd Minstrel on July 20 over 1408m, 6 len behind Diego Velazquez with 61.5kg at $12. Second run from a spell 3rd in a small field at this track in the G3 Desmond Stakes on August 7 over 1609m, 1.0 len behind Johan carrying 61kg at $9. Genuine hope.

Second-up. Comes off a 37-day let-up. First-up after 10 months won by 0.5 len at this track G3 Desmond Stakes August 7 over 1609m defeating Alakazi carrying 61kg at $13. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Saint-Cloud in the G3 Prix Perth on October 27 over 1600m, in the wet; 5 len behind Alcantor with 57.5kg at $20. Warrants serious consideration.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 37-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track in the G3 Desmond Stakes on August 7 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Johan with 58kg at $2.90. The start before that 2nd of 8 at Curragh in LR on June 29 over 1609m, 2.25 len behind Skukuza with 56.5kg at $3.80. Makes strong appeal.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 52-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at Naas July 23 over 1408m defeating Bravais carrying 61kg at $1.60. The start before that 3rd of 15 at Ascot in the G3 Jersey Stakes on June 21 over 1408m, 6 len behind Noble Champion carrying 58.5kg at $3.80. Worth including.
