Leopardstown Race 7

Irish Champions Festival Maiden

Stake: $29,889

HAPPY PHAROAH (6) maintains a progressive profile following a decent 5.5L fourth in a 2000m maiden at Fairyhouse. Can improve further. Rates highly. CARTHUSIAN (1) debuted finishing 3.25L runner-up contesting a 2000m maiden at Navan. Main danger. KEYBOARD (7) took a step forward during April producing a 2.25L third in a 2400m maiden at Tipperary. Interesting. DRIVERS SEAT (4) warrants a second look.

At debut, 2nd of 10 at Navan on May 17 over 2011m, 3.5 len behind Scandinavia carrying 61kg at $9. Better for that outing and looks one of the main contenders.
