Elliott juvenile should have little difficulty picking up a maiden

Leadership RaceTrainer: Ger Lyons
7th, 6f two-year-old maiden, Naas, July 24

We have not seen many sons or daughters of top-class Australian sprinter Brazen Beau in Ireland, but this gelding ran a race of some promise in a tongue-tie at Naas and should do much better in time.

Not much went right for him in this contest. He was slowly away and could never really get into a position, and when it looked as though he might move into contention he received a hefty bump and any momentum was lost.

There is plenty of speed in his pedigree, he is a half-brother to smart sprinter The Cheka for one, but he looks like he will get seven furlongs and this experience should do him the world of good.

3rd, 7f two-year-old maiden, Down Royal, July 26

This Zoffany colt was settled close to the pace on the inside rail, but didn't have a huge amount of racing room on the downhill run to the last furlong and a half. He also took his time to pick up, but that was probably the only bit of inexperience he showed.
