Saturday was a poor day for my predictions as both were non runners. At Tipparary Vatican City didn't run as Current Option took the race at 7/2 with the 5/1 shot Laughifuwant second while at Gowran Park Put The Kettle On was the only one who didn't start as the 11/10 favourite Easy Game came home 1st with the Storyteller a huge 7 lengths back in 2nd.
The racing week comes to an end with two meetings on Sunday at Tipparary and Killarney with two feature contests. The first is at Tipparary at 1.35 when a field of 7 start the Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle. Saint Roi looks like the one to beat having won twice already this year his last victory was the County Hurdle at Cheltenham back in March where he impressively beat 23 others his main danger here is Beacon Edge who has had 2 good second place finishes over hurdles at Naas this year his last was at the beginning of March and a step up to 2 miles where he has won twice before will suit. Others to look at are Chosen Mate and Djingle who could upset the odds.
The other big race is at Killarney at 3.25 when 8 go to post for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden with 2 standing out. Actuary was 4th on his debut at Cork 49 days ago and has plenty more to give here while Watchman last ran in the middle of September when he was a creditable 5th at Tipparary and was 3rd on this Killarney course back in July so he should do well again. Coltor is the one who could upset the leading two he has run twice this year finishing 5th on both occasions but the longer trip here will suit and he could go well in what will be a stern test of stamina.
Big race predictions: Tipparary 1.35: 5: Saint Roi Killarney 3.25: 1: Actuary.
