At Tipperary on Thursday my selection Jack Holiday finished 2nd. The 10/3 favourite led from 4 out and tried to push on however he was passed just after the last and had no extra just about holding on for 2nd leaving the 33/1 chance Give Me A Moment to win by 2 lengths.
It's a busy Friday with 7 races at Downpatrick and 7 at Cork,the main contest at Downpatrick is the 3.20 when 15 begin the Itba Supporting Northern Breeders Mares Handicap Hurdle. Paula's Prayer was at her best when winning at Fairyhouse 24 days ago. She held on to win by a nose there and has to be taken seriously here. Kate ill Know was a winner on debut at Clonmel in March before finishing an excellent third at Limerick in mid April, she is open to progress but needs a stiffer test which she should get here making her a challenger. The other one to consider is Dreamingandhoping who picked up her career best win in a novice hurdle at Ballinrobe 21 days ago,she makes her handicap hurdle debut here and is well worth a look. The big race at Cork comes at 6.10 when 25 line-up for the Mallow Premier Handicap. Casanova looked as if he was back in form when 11th in a handicap at The Curragh 20 days ago,he was hampered that day but is still well worth considering. San Andreas picked up his latest win at Dundalk in February and was a good 4th in a handicap at Leopardstown when last seen at the beginning of April and is definitely in the mix here. Real Appeal picked up his career best win in that Leopardstown handicap 26 days ago,he came home by 1 1/2 lengths and should go well again. The other one with a good chance is Luke Short who was an excellent third behind Real Appeal at Leopardstown and should not be taken lightly here.
Big race predictions: Downpatrick: 5: Paula's Prayer Cork: 10: Casanova.
