27/9/20 The Curragh

 On Saturday both tips did very well in the big races. High Definition won by 3/4 of a length coming home the 9/5 favourite beating Monaasib while in the 3.50 Summerghand finished 3rd the 11/4 joint favourite had Forever In Dreams and the 10/1 winner Ventura Rebel in front of him.

  The racing week comes to an end on Sunday with one meeting at the Curragh and two big races. The first is at 2.00 when 12 go to post for the Weld Park Stakes where 4 have a chance. No Speak Alexander has had one win from 3 runs this year that came at Roscommon back in July where she beat 5 others and her last run was a 3/4 of a length second to another of this races contenders Monday 15 days ago, the Aidan O'brien filly followed up that win with a disappointing run at Newmarket on Friday finishing 4th but she should be back to form here. Thinking Of You made her debut winning at Limerick 16 days ago coming from 5th a furlong out to take the victory by 1/2 a length. The other one to keep an eye on is Aunty Bridy who has run twice at the Curragh this year winning in June and finishing 6th in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at Irish Champions weekend so she shouldn't be discounted. 

  4.50 sees the other big race when 10 start the Loughbrown Stakes. Kastasa is the one to beat here her five race winning run came to an end 35 days ago at Naas when she finished 3rd but two of her wins have been at the Curragh including one over this race distance of 2 miles back in September last year so she should be right up there again. Dawn Patrol's last win was at Naas in July and was a creditable 6th in the St Leger at Doncaster 15 days ago. Barrington Court has won 3 times this year the last a Bellewstown in late August her last race was at Galway at the beginning of this month where she finished second 1 3/4 lengths behind Princess Zoe. The other one that should feature is Traisha who has one win from 3 runs this year that came at Killarney back in July she has followed that up with a third at Gowran Park and a second in the Stanerra Stakes at Naas in August. These 4 should make this a competitive race. 

Race tips: 2pm- 8: No Speak Alexander  4.50- 4: Kastasa
