Friday showed that not every day can be a good one prediction wise so apologies if you backed either one today. At Downpatrick Paula's Prayer finished 10th,the 6/1 shot was in midfield from 3 out and that was as good as it got for her with the 11/1 chance Shopping Around winning by 3/4 of a length. It was even worse at Cork with Casanova finishing last,he led early but was passed just over two furlongs out and had nothing extra with Hightimeyouwon coming home by a head.
Another busy weekend begins with 8 races at both Cork and Naas,the main event at Cork is the 1.50 when 18 line-up for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle. Cot Knapping unseated her rider 3 out on debut at Limerick 19 days ago,despite that she is definitely open to progress and with a clear round she has a big part to play here. Erins Benefit is a useful hurdler who was a below form 4th at Tramore in mid April,however she does have a good chance and could easily challenge. The other main threat is Manitopark Aa who was a very creditable 2nd in her last outing at Fairyhouse 25 days ago,she was beaten by 2 1/4 lengths but can still make her presence felt here. The big contest at Naas comes at 2.40 when 8 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Blue Wind Stakes. Jessica Harrington trained One Voice the winner of this race in 2020 and she can repeat that with Silence Please a smart filly who was a very good second to Tiger Moth in the Paddy Power Betting Shop Stakes at Leopardstown when last seen in September,she has plenty more to offer as a 4 year old and will be difficult to beat. Emaniya last won at Cork in August but was a disappointing last in the Flame Of Tara Stakes at The Curragh later the same month,however being off 8 months and going up in trip could help her improve. Insinuendo was 3rd on her season return at Tipperary 18 days ago she definitely needs a stiffer test and going significantly up in trip here means she can show improvement and challenge.
Big race predictions: Cork: 2: Cot Knapping Naas: 2: Silence Please.
