Saturday was a good day with both my predictions performing well. At Fairyhouse Lord Lariat won the 11/8 favourite was 5 1/2 lengths in front of Something Sweet. At Limerick Dance Jupiter was 3rd the 13/8 favourite had In From The Cold and the 25/1 winner Saltonstall in front of him.
A bumper Sunday sees meetings at The Curragh and Limerick with 3 standout races the first of which is at 3.10 at The Curragh where 10 head to the start for the Novi IT Services International Stakes. Sonnyboyliston certainly enjoys racing on this course having won twice already this year both victories were also over this races distance of 1 mile 2 furlongs his last being 28 days ago when he finished 4 1/4 lengths in front. Order Of Australia is also a fine horse and is looking for his third win in a row following two wins in September at Dundalk and a 5 runner race on this course two weeks ago as he aims to give Aidan O'brien a hat-trick of wins in this race. Etneya is also a course winner having come home 3 1/4 lengths in front in a fillies maiden back in July and she will look to build on an impressive second at Gowran Park in mid September. Up Helly Aa has had two good runs this year a second at Killarney in August and a third at Leopardstown 29 days ago and is an outsider here who could go well.
The other big race at The Curragh is at 3.40 when a field of 22 start the Paddy Power Irish Cesarewitch. Run For Mary has had one win from 3 runs this year that was at Bellewstown where she stayed on well to finish 3/4 of a length in front that was back in early July and she should step up again here. Kaatskill Nap looks like the main danger last winning at Galway over hurdles back in July his last run on the flat was here at The Curragh in June this year when he was 8th but his other useful efforts mean he is definitely one to look at. Shoshone Warrior should improve on his second at Leopardstown 29 days ago while Golden Spear should also give a good account and will definitely be better than his 11th at Listowel in late September. An outsider to keep an eye on is last year's winner Royal Illusion who was 8 1/2 lengths in front 12 months ago and going back up to 2 miles gives her a chance in a very competitive race.
We then move to Limerick at 4.00 as 16 contest the JT Mcnamara Ladbrokes Munster National. Several have good chances in what is a difficult race to call. Chavi Artist,Walk Away and Moyhenna are on form the three that standout but both Doctor Duffy and Roaring Bull will have something to say about that as any of these could pass the post first.
Big race predictions: The Curragh 3.10: 8: Sonnyboyliston 3.40: 17: Run For Mary.
Limerick 4.00: 14: Chavi Artist.
