Wednesday saw another race not going as I predicted as Plan Of Attack failed to finish the Guinness Kerry National. The race was won by Cabaret Queen at 6/1 Moyhenna was a very close second at 40/1 while the 11/2 favourite Doctor Duffy was third.
Thursday sees Listowel take centre stage again with 2 big races. At 4.30 12 go to post for the Behans Horseshoe Bar and Townhouse Maiden where 3 horses standout. Palm Beach made a promising debut when 4th at Tipperary 10 days ago and should improve. My Sister Sarah has been consistent in her last three races finishing second each time including at Galway 17 days ago but a drop down in trip from 2 miles 5 furlongs to 1 mile 4 should see a push for victory. The other one to look at is Star Of Juniper who was 7th over this distance at Bellewstown 28 days ago and should improve here.
The other big race of the day is at 5.40 when 14 head to the start for the Tote Ireland Handicap. Sea The Dawn looks like the one to beat and will hope to improve on his last run a 4th at Navan in late August but there are three others who will have something to say about that. Darkened was a winner at the Galway Festival in August and a good Fourth at Tipperary 10 days ago and going back up in trip should help. Call Me Rocky has had one win from three runs this year that came at Limerick in July but he was a creditable third at Galway at the beginning of August and has the chance of further improvement in this one and Lord Park should also challenge after coming second at Navan 2 weeks ago.
Big race tips: 4.30- 8: Palm Beach
5.40- 4:Darkened
