Monday saw a good start prediction wise as my selection Port Sunlight won. The 9/4 favourite moved into the lead inside the final furlong staying on well and finishing 3 lengths in front.
There are meetings on Tuesday at Fairyhouse and Tipparary with two feature contests,the first is at Fairyhouse at 3.05 when 6 start the Tattersalls Ireland Handicap. Earls is the only runner with any recent wins his came at Sligo at the beginning of August where he stayed on well in the final furlong and came home by 1 and 1/4 lengths and if he reproduces that form he will be difficult to beat. Royal Hideaway makes his handicap debut here and is one to keep an eye on as he looks to bounce back from his last Maiden race an 8th at Tipparary 17 days ago. In a small field others that could challenge are Is That Love who's best performance this year was a third at Listowel in late September and he will have to find that form to have a chance while Glow Worm is still looking for her first win in this her 21st race the only problem she has will be tiredness having run 8 times since the beginning of August so she will probably be an outsider here.
The other main race of the day is at Tipparary at 3.15 when 12 head to the start for the Tipparary Handicap. Sweet Sting looks like the one to beat as she returns to the track where she picked up her career best win 16 days ago she went into the lead inside the final 50 yards and won by 3/4 of a length that win was also over this races 3 mile distance. There are two main threats in this one, Hello Pilgrim last won over hurdles at Limerick in June and her last run was a good 2nd at Roscommon 22 days ago so she is fancied to travel well again while The Trigger has picked up 5 wins from 7 runs this year his last was at Downpatrick at the beginning of August that was his fifth in a row so he shouldn't be overlooked in this long but competitive race.
Big race predictions: Fairyhouse 3.05: 3: Earls Tipparary: 3.15:9: Sweet Sting.
