The week ended with my selection Major Power coming 2nd. The 7/1 chance led until the closing stages when he was passed by the 22/1 shot Well Suited who won by 1/2 a length. It was also announced today that the meeting called off at Fairyhouse on Wednesday will now take place on Monday February 22nd.
The weekend begins with 8 races at Naas on Saturday and if the course passes a 7.30am inspection then the highlight will be the 1.40 when just 5 start the Bba Ireland Limited Opera Hat Mares Chase. Elimay headed towards the top of the betting for the inaugural mares chase at Cheltenham next month after finishing a very good second behind Allaho in the Kinloch Brae at Thurles 17 days ago a repeat of that performance along with a drop down in trip will make her difficult to beat here. Shattered Love has picked up one win from three runs this season that came at Clonmel in November where she easily came home by 10 lengths, a below form 12th place finish in a handicap hurdle at Navan 70 days ago can largely be forgotten as she makes her chasing return here and is a big player. The other one to keep an eye on is Yukon Lil who picked up her only win this season at Cork in late November and needs to bounce back after being pulled up before the last at Thurles at the end of January in a race won by Colreevy. Despite that she still has a good chance.
Big race prediction: 1: Elimay.
