Friday saw my predictions finish at both ends of the field. At Downpatrick Tullybeg won the Evens Favourite beat Face The Odds by 6 lengths while at Dundalk Leadership Race was slowly away and at the back throughout never in contention the 6/4 Favourite finished last.
A busy weekend of action begins with meetings at Fairyhouse and Limerick on Saturday and two races standout. The 1st feature is the 2.40 at Fairyhouse when 13 start the Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap. Lord Lariat has won twice over hurdles this year both at Tipparary in late June and early July since then his best run was a 2nd in a handicap chase at Punchestown 10 days ago and he is strongly fancied here. Select Opportunity returns to action after a year out looking for his third win after victories at Sligo and this Fairyhouse course but he will need a strong performance to win here. Russian Bill last ran at Clonmel back in February where he was a good third and if he eliminates his jumping mistakes he will go well here. The other one with a chance is Avec Espoir who was up with the leaders when he fell 2 from home at Listowel 15 days ago and if he has suffered no ill-effects he will travel well in this one.
The days other standout race is at Limerick at 3.30 when 9 begin the Jim Ryan Racecourse Services Munster Mile Handicap. Sheer Bravado is looking for his fourth win in a row after winning at Listowel,Tipparary and Killarney already this year his last win was 6 days ago so he definitely has a chance. Dance Jupiter was a very good third in his last run at the Curragh two weeks ago and another strong performance puts him right in the mix here. The other one to consider is Quizzical who's last run was in the Irish Cambridgeshire 43 days ago where he was 2nd only 3/4 of a length behind the winner so don't rule him out of this one.
Big race predictions: Fairyhouse 2.40: 6: Lord Lariat. Limerick 3.30: 4: Dance Jupiter.
