The week ended with another bag of mixed results. At Down Royal Isotope was 8th,the 15/2 shot was prominent and sat 2nd at halfway, he dropped to 3rd from 2 out but was passed before the last he had nothing extra allowing the 10/3 chance Visionarian to win by a nose. At Limerick Sonnyboyliston won,the 6/5 favourite chased the leaders early and challenged 2 out he was on terms just over a furlong from the finish and he led inside the final furlong staying on well to win by 1 1/2 lengths.
There are 8 races at Down Royal on Saturday where the feature contest is the 3.25 when 14 begin the Boylesports Ulster Derby. Safari Quest is a promising horse who was a 11 length second to Modus Operandi in a maiden at Navan 35 days ago,this is his handicap debut and he should go well. Sheishybrid got off the mark when winning a handicap over this course and distance at the beginning of this month,she came home by 2 1/2 lengths that day and with more progress expected she is the main challenger. Kailash didn't need to improve to win a maiden at Cork when last seen 57 days ago,he goes up in trip to make his handicap debut here and completes the shortlist. Of the others Star Harbour picked up his career best win at Navan 20 days ago and going up in trip here means he could snatch the race so can't be overlooked. The second horse in that race Bear Story goes again,he picked up his last victory at Dundalk in December,he was beaten by 3 1/4 lengths at Navan but he is open to further improvement so can't be ruled out.
Big race prediction: 11: Safari Quest.
