Thursday saw both of my predictions fail to win. A Touch Of Oscar came 4th at Clonmel he had Rueben James,Whatsyourstatus and the 3/1 winner Aforementioned in front of him while at Fairyhouse Silver Fox came in 3rd the 6/4 favourite was beaten by Fil The Power and the 3/1 winner Jason The Millitant.
Friday is another two meeting day with 8 at Gowran Park and 8 races at Dundalk. The feature race at Gowran Park is at 5.30 when 17 start the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mucklemeg Mares Flat Race. 8 of the 17 have won one or more races this year but 3 are in with a big chance. Eilise's A Lady has won both her races this year her last was at Galway in July where she came home 6 1/2 lengths in front of Hallowed Star and she will want to make it 3 wins here. Sheer Liss won her last race at Down Royal in August where she beat another of this races runners Lady Heath by 1 and a half lengths so it will be interesting to see their rivalry renewed in this one. The other with a chance is Purple Mountain who won her last race at Killanary 43 days ago and if she stays on well again she will challenge for the top prize. Others worth a look are Razzle Dazzle Love,Raven Rule and Monas Melody in this highly competitive listed contest.
The days other feature race is at Dundalk at 6.45 where 9 go to post for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Star Appeal Stakes. The best horse in the race is Magnanimous who has won twice this year at Cork in early September where he beat Amber Kite by 2 lengths and at Listowel 10 days ago where he narrowly beat San Martino. Toshizou has had 1 win from 2 runs this year that came at Tipperary 18 days ago and if he puts in the same battling performance here he will be challenging for 1st. Deputy Sandy won on his debut at Naas in early September where a final furlong push got him past Southern Lights and he crossed the line in front by a head and he has a good chance here while Admiral Nelson last ran 54 days ago at the Curragh where he was 9th in the group 1 Keenland Stakes but dropping back down in class means he can make his presence felt. The other main challenger should be Zaffy's Pride who has had one win from 3 runs this year coming on this Dundalk course 2 weeks ago where he finished 3/4 of a length in front of Anjalawi so this shouldn't be a one horse race.
Big race predictions: 5.30 Gowran Park: 1: Eilise's A Lady. Dundalk 6.45: 5:Magnanimous.
