Modeeroch can make the most of ideal opportunity

MODEEROCH can land the featured Group Three Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown tonight.

Jim Bolger's high-class daughter of Mozart made a promising reappearance at Leopardstown earlier in the month when three parts of a length second behind Queen Cleopatra, who subsequently boosted the form when third in the Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh.

That race was over a mile and dropping down to six furlongs now is obviously a minor concern. But Bolger clearly believes Modeeroch has the pace to cope and this is not the toughest group race ever run.
