It wasn't a bad end to the week with both my selections finishing in the top 3. At Cork Lifetime Legend was 3rd,the 9/2 chance disputed the lead briefly and was 3rd at halfway he kept on at the same pace inside the final furlong with the 5/2 shot Ottoman Emperor winning. At Kilbeggan Reine Fee was 2nd,the 2/1 favourite was 5th 3 out but was hampered when in 4th before the last. She improved to 2nd on the run-in but was no trouble to the winner Felicidad.
The weekend begins with 8 races at Limerick on Saturday where the main event comes at 3.30 when 16 start the limerickraces.ie Handicap. Arthurian Fame last won at Galway in October by a decent 1 1/4 lengths and he is definitely one to consider and could be the one to beat. Ebony Maw picked up one win from three runs last year that came at Navan in September, his return at Cork 3 weeks ago saw him finish 9th but that can largely be forgotten and he is worth another chance here. Melburnian was a respectable 3rd on her last run on the flat at Leopardstown at the end of October, she has also shown promise in her 4 hurdles starts so merits consideration. The other one to look at is Springbank who picked up two wins from six runs last year his last was at Gowran Park in August, he was a creditable 2nd on his season return at the same course 16 days ago and he should go well again here.
Big race prediction: 3: Arthurian Fame
