Friday was an excellent day with both my selections winning. At Gowran Park Annamix was in front all the way and despite a bad mistake 2 out the 5/6 favourite went further clear on the run-in and easily won by 9 lengths while at Dundalk Pulse Of Shanghai made it a hat-trick of wins the 100/30 shot moved into the lead just over a furlong out and kept on strongly to come home by 1 3/4 lengths.
There is only one meeting in Ireland on Saturday 7 races at Naas where the feature is the 1.02 when just 4 begin the Poplar Square Chase. Fakir D'Oudairies is a very good chaser who's 4 most recent runs have been impressive two wins at Navan and Fairyhouse and two seconds at Leopardstown and in the Arkle Chase at Cheltenham 8 months ago,the winner of that race Put The Kettle On made a winning return last Sunday and this horse should do the same here. Cash Back is the main challenger who has won on this Naas course already this year that was a comfortable 12 length victory back in January he followed that up with a second at Leopardstown in February but he wasn't at his best when he fell at Cheltenham in March while running in the Arkle Chase. Despite that if he gets to the front early he should be right up there in the closing stages. The other two in the race are also decent horses, Notebook won 4 in a row two at Leopardstown and two at Punchestown before he travelled to Cheltenham 8 months ago where he came 6th so he definitely shouldn't be ruled out while Djingle is a useful chaser who last won at Listowel in late September his latest run was a good second at Limerick 41 days ago and he could easily upset the odds.
Big race prediction: 1: Fakir D'Oudairies.
