Leopardstown Race 3

Saudi Cup Silver Flash Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)

Prize Money: $108,245

GREEN EMPRESS (6) sets the standard after finishing second in the G2 Airlie Stud Stakes over 1200m at the Curragh. Step up in trip should suit and major claims are held. ALPHA (1) improved sharply from debut to win a 1400m Curragh maiden in style last time. With further progress likely rates a main danger. DANCING DESTINY (5) arrives following a Listed Pat Smullen Stakes success at Naas while already placed at G3 level. Warrants serious consideration. BLONDE OVER BLUE (3) won debuting over course and distance in June. Stronger opposition awaits but she remains open to improvement. Cannot be discounted.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 10 at this track on June 4 over 1408m, 0.8 len behind Blonde Over Blue carrying 58kg at $3. Second-up favourite; scored a big 6 len win at Curragh June 28 over 1408m defeating Ibelieveicanfly with 58kg at $1.70. Impressive of late. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.

Freshened since claiming her maiden victory on debut; won by 0.8 len at this track June 4 over 1408m defeating Alpha with 58kg at $7. In form and expected to measure up again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 0.8 len at Naas LR PAT SMULLEN STAKES July 4 over 1609m defeating Sarah's Choice with 54kg at $6. Before that 4th of 9 at Fairyhouse on June 5 over 1408m, 10 len behind Florida Bay with 59.5kg at $4.30. Worth including.
