Here’s a quick summary of key horses and notes from the Leopardstown card on 3rd March 2025, based on ratings and pace forecasts:

·

13:00 – Maiden Hurdle (2m4f, Even Pace)

  • Koktail Divin (135) – Clear top-rated, strong form, and with Rachael Blackmore. Big player.
  • Zillow (127p) and Quantum Quest (125p) – Both open to progress and could challenge.
  • Arabian Diamond (128) – Solid rating but may need more to match Koktail Divin.

13:35 – Mares Maiden Hurdle (2m4f, Strong Pace)

  • Qualimita (134) – Top-rated and potentially well ahead of these.
  • Reina Del Mar (126) and Full Of Life (121p) – Closest rivals.
  • Strong pace might suit closers if it gets testing.

14:10 – Mares Handicap Hurdle (2m4f, Strong Pace)

  • Competitive field!
  • Wendell’s Lass (123), Bynx (122), Mount Shenshan (121) all closely matched.
  • My Policy (120) and Goodie Girl (120) have claims.
  • Strong pace might favour those who can come from off the speed.

14:45 – Handicap Hurdle (3m, Weak Pace)

  • Money Heist (124) – Top-rated and suited by trip.
  • Game And Glory (123) and Birmingham Alabama (122) next best.
  • Weak pace may favour a horse that can race prominently and control things.

15:15 – Beginners Chase (2m1f, Very Weak Pace)

  • Majestic Force (146) – Standout on ratings, clear form pick.
  • Golden Joy (133p) and Black Bamboo (130p) are the dangers if the fav underperforms.
  • Likely tactical race due to lack of pace.

15:50 – QR Handicap Chase (2m5f, Weak Pace)

  • A Wave Of The Sea (130) – Class horse here.
  • Prince Zaltar (127+) and Harvey’s Quay (123) are next in line.
  • Could turn tactical; worth noting who is willing to race handily.

16:20 – Mares Bumper (2m, Strong Pace)

  • Jem’s Lilly (98) and Sugar Cookie (97p) are the form horses.
  • Champagne Venture (91) and Arctic Flame (90) also credible.
  • Strong pace could set this up for a hold-up runner.
