Shelbourne can take Leger

JUDICIAL Academy and What A Tornado will battle it out for favouritism for this evening’s Kerry AgriBusiness St Leger at Limerick, but on the track there could be one or two more getting involved in what promises to be a thrilling decider.

The bookmakers seem convinced the winner will emerge from the big two, but the likes of Shelbourne Geoff and Varra Captain could also have a big say in the outcome. Judicial Academy was beaten favourite in last year’s final and, while his connections will be hoping to atone for that defeat, he faces a tough draw.

Flanked by two early-paced greyhounds in the form of Varra Captain and Shelbourne Geoff, Judicial Academy could find himself short of room at the turn.
