Blue Bolt (15:55 Leopardstown — Coolmore America ‘Justify’ Matron Stakes, Group 1, 1m)
Andrew Balding’s four-year-old, ridden again by Colin Keane, who’s 6 from 8 on her. Unbeaten in four, unbeaten at Group 1 level — the Falmouth then the Prix Rothschild last time, beating Precise by half a length, the same filly she meets again here. Seven from ten overall, perfect at the trip. Only question marks are a first run at Leopardstown and a low draw bias from stall 9 — neither looks close to enough to stop her.
Verdict: Back to win — unbeaten at the top level and simply the class act in this field. 🏇
