FormscanBy Michael Graham - Leadership Race is undoubtedly well in at the weights with Sean Bird's 10lb claim factored in. He has every chance of giving Bird his first winner from stall one. However, he can be slowly away from the gates and was beaten at odds-on in a claimer here in April. He is coming back from a break and there is a nagging feeling that he is better at seven furlongs (two course wins at that trip) so he is passed over. James McAuley runs three horses and he knows where the winning post in this grade. He claimed MALAYSIAN from Jessica Harrington after she finished third at this track last week. That was a decent effort on her first try at Polytrack and she is a former winner of a mile maiden on fast ground at Cork. Jockey Shane Foley knows her well. A return to this trip could help her stablemate Dalvey. Sideshow Bob has run well here before and could go better than her price suggests. House Of Kings has a shot on Irish debut.
