The week ended on a good note with my selection Zoffanien winning. The 6/5 favourite was 3rd at the last and challenged entering the straight. He led inside the final furlong keeping on well to come home by 2 1/2 Lengths.
There are 8 races at The Curragh on Saturday with two feature contests. The first is the 2.35 when 12 begin the Tri Equestrian Gladness Stakes. Lustown Baba is a smart filly who won twice on this course at the end of last year but she was a bit below form when finishing 4th on her season return at Cork 2 weeks ago. Despite that she gets the nod to complete her course hat-trick here. Lancaster House won this contest 12 months ago but his last race the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot 6 months ago saw him finish last,this race was his season reappearance last year so he should be respected. Speak In Colours is a smart horse who has won 4 times here in his career,he was 11th last time out in the Al Quoz Sprint over at Meydan 21 days ago but he should bounce back after a break. The other big race on the card is the 3.10 when 10 line-up for the Holden Plant Rentals Alleged Stakes. Broome is a very smart horse who won by 3 1/2 lenghts on his season return at Naas 20 days ago and another good show is expected here. Numerian was a below form 5th in that same Naas race at the end of March but he should bounce back here and challenge. Helvic Dream won over this course and distance back in October and was another one that Broome beat at Naas however he shouldn't be ruled out. The other one in the field with a good chance is Pondus who's last run on English soil was a well below form 20th in the Ebor at York in August he then went to Australia where he was second in the group 3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Flemington,his last race in Ireland was a victory at Roscommon in July and he should go well again here.
Big race predictions: 2.35: 11: Lustown Baba 3.10: 3: Broome.
