Stamina can win the day for Leezie Lindsay

The semi-finals of the Pat Hennerty Sales Cork Oaks feature on tonight’s 11-race card at Curraheen, and Leezie Lindsay can use her considerable stamina to take the first heat for Francie Murray.

The lightly raced bitch showed top-class form when winning the Macroom Motor Services Stake over 575 yards at this track in December, and showed her versatility when winning impressively over 525 yards in the first round of this stake.

While she may struggle to lead this time, she is drawn to follow the red-jacketed Rastafari Chic around, and is expected to prove too strong for that rival.
