Leezie Lindsay can swoop late to land Cork Oaks

In a wide-open final to the Pat Hennerty Sales Cork Oaks at Curraheen Park, Leezie Lindsay can come through late to snatch victory for Francie Murray and owner Howard Wallace.

The bitch missed the kick in the semi-finals but ran on powerfully to be beaten little more than a length and a half in third place behind Lurriga Gold, with Rastafari Chic separating them. Winner of a 575 stake here in December, if the selection can break a little better this time, she can use her proven stamina to pick up the pacesetters.

The danger may come from Lurriga Gold, who has a good draw on the outside and may be able to sneak around in front, as she did last weekend.
