The betting bankroll stands at £3203 (+£1203) after Downforce finished second in Listed Waterford Stakes at Curragh .
After being very well supported in market 11-2 into 9-4 ,could only mange distant second behind impressive winner Make A Challenge .
No damage done with £2.00 profit on the race.The stakes remain the same £3102 divided by 25 = £124.00 stake .
Moving on to Saturday we have interesting little listed contest from Leopardstown . 8 runners declared for 7f Knockaire Listed stakes on ground described as soft .The three main contenders are Amedeo Modigliani , Laughifuwant & Pincheck .
AMEDEO MODIGLIANI : 4-Y-0 Bay Colt ,winning 1 out 6 ,only victory coming in 8f maiden at Galway as two-year-old .Shown bits and pieces of form this season ,including finishing creditable fourth of 13 in 8f listed race at Cork earlier this month ,though will need bounce back after disappointing effort at Ascot in handicap company last week .
LAUGHIFUWANT :4-Y-0 Bay Gelding ,winning 2 out 11 .Shown progressive form this season ,including winning competitive 7f handicap at Galway in August .Also finished creditable third in 8.5f listed race at Cork last time .Will be suited returning to this shorter trip ,both victories coming at 7 furlongs .
PINCHECK : 5-Y-0 Bay Gelding ,winning 4 out 24 .Consistent sort, won 8f group three contest at Leopardstown last season .Been running consistently this season without winning ,including finishing good second at Cork earlier this month in listed company.Obvious claims on form ,though not ran over this shorter trip since 2016 .
VERDICT : Pincheck is clearly the one to beat on official ratings 8lb clear (109) ,though is not the most prolific winner ,only one victory in last two seasons in 15 starts.The drop back in trip has to be question mark ,having not raced over the trip for three years .Odds around 7-4 look short enough with them doubts.
LAUGHIFUWANT should go well returning to his optimum trip ,having appeared not quite get home over the extended mile at Cork last time behind Pincheck.Looks ideally drawn for front runner in stall one .Odds around 10-3 look fair enough value in not the strongest listed contest .
(1) LAUGHIFUWANT (2) PINCHECK (3) AMEDEO MODIGLIANI
