Leopardstown 6.25
Korean Racing Authority Tyros Stakes (group 3) (Class 1) (2YO only)
Winner €32,500
High Ruler: Justified market confidence at second attempt when winning Roscommon maiden in July, having previously been smashed into last on debut; That win only workmanlike, and Zoffany looks stable first string.
Triple Eight: Improved from debut to make all in maiden at Gowran in May before seeing unsuited by return to 6f in Listed contest at Cork last time; Although she can be forgiven that run, this is a higher grade (although field has cut up).
Created excellent impression in winning 3 of 4 starts, looking outstaning in first 2, finding the hustle and bustle of Coventry too much at Royal Ascot (got badly hampered) already looking much better than that, making smooth work of a win at listed level last time; One to beat.
Jolie Jiconde: Doing her best work at business end of the race on both her starts so far, coming decent second at Roscommon last time; This much harder than both her starts, so lots to do.
VERDICT: With Jolie Jiconde still a maiden, Triple Eight having finished last in listed company, and High Ruler looking like he needs to improve to make a mark in Group company, ZOFFANY is the default selection as he looks a class above this field and is making smooth progress on the way to better things.
