Thursday was the best day so far this week for tips. In the 4.30 Palm Beach won at 3/1 a length in front of Starlight Dream while in the 5.40 Darkened was 3rd with only the favourite Call Me Rocky and the 10/1 winner Ideal Pal in front of him.
Friday is a bumper day with 2 meetings and 3 feature races. Listowel has two of the big races the first of which is at 2.40 when 16 go to post for the Guinness Handicap. Courting Vickie has had 3 runs this year the last being at Tramore when she finished 6th 42 days ago but going up in trip from 2 miles to three should suit. The Reaping Race has had 1 win from 2 runs this season beating 11 others at Tipperary over this 3 mile distance 39 days ago so should feature here. Mary Of De Sorrows was a respectable 3rd at Wexford earlier this month so should be taken seriously and Not So Simple was a good second in his last race at Galway so shouldn't be overlooked.
The other big race at Listowel is at 4.25 when 11 head down to the start for the Southampton Goodwill Plate where 3 standout. Crazywork De Vassy has had 2 good recent runs winning at Killarney in August and an excellent second at Galway in early September so he should be right up there challenging here. Treacysenniscorthy was a winner over this course and distance back in September last year and since then has won four more times most recently at Leopardstown in February and will be in the mix while Ballyegan Hero has had three second place finishes this year his last at Killarney 36 days ago and moving back up in trip makes him respected. Others worth a look include Bay Hill,Minella Times and Gwencily Berbas.
The big race at Dundalk is at 6.45 when 14 start the Al Basti Equiworld,Dubai Diamond Stakes. 2020 Irish 2000 Guineas runner up Vatican City is the best horse in the race a third place in the Boomerang Mile at Leopardstown 13 days ago and a win on this course in October 2019 means he has to be taken seriously. Crossfirehurricane was 10th in the irish Derby in June but had four wins on the bounce before then his most recent was at The Curragh also in June this year. Simsar has won on this course and over this race distance while Bowerman was third at Leopardstown in mid August and his biggest win was the Irish Lincolnshire in June so you can see why this is a difficult race to call.
Big race tips: Listowel: 2.40- 7: The Reaping Race. 4.25- 10: Crazywork De Vassy
Dundalk:6.45- 12: Vatican City.
