A good Tuesday saw my pick Harmony Rose come 2nd. The 11/8 favourite tracked the leader and challenged 1 1/2 furlongs out,she led under a furlong out but was passed in the closing stages by the 4/1 shot Twilight Jet who won by a length.
A midweek double header sees 8 races at both Wexford and The Curragh. The main contest at Wexford is at 3.15 when 6 begin the Good Enuf To Eat Banqueting Novice Chase. Gin On Lime made an impressive return when winning at Killarney 24 days ago,she definitely has more to offer and is the one to beat. The main threat is Everybreathyoutake who made a winning debut over fences in a novice chase at Limerick last month. Despite coming from behind that day this horse is capable of better and may show it here. The other challenger could be Star Max who didn't need to be at his best to win at Fairyhouse when last seen 50 days ago,however with a better quality of field he will need to improve here to be a threat. Of the rest Friary Rock is the one to look at he made his chasing debut at Tipperary 27 days ago and despite finishing 5th he needed the run and he should be up there here. At The Curragh the big race is the 5.30 when 15 line-up for the Qatar Racing And Equestrian Club Ballyogan Stakes. In an open group 3 Sonaiyla gets the nod this smart mare was a good third to Gustavus Weston in the Greenlands Stakes over this course and race distance on her return towards the end of May and she should win here. Lustown Baba is the main challenger a smart filly who is a course and distance winner and was a very good second to Snapraeterea in a listed race at Naas 17 days ago so she should not be taken lightly. Back To Brussels was a respectable second when last seen at Naas in mid May and with her yard in good form she should be in the mix. The other threat is Camdeboo who was a good winner at Cork at the end of April and she returned there to finish an excellent 4th to Measure Of Magic 26 days ago despite not suiting the drop in trip. She should progress further here and may cause a shock.
Big race predictions: Wexford: 5: Gin On Lime The Curragh: 5: Sonaiyla.
