Sunday was a good day for my picks at The Curragh. In the 2.00 CheerupsleepyJean was 3rd,the 1/1 favourite was slowly into her stride but was in touch 2 out. She moved into 3rd just before the final furlong but she kept on at the same pace in the closing stages allowing Velocidad to win by 2 1/4 lengths. At 3.40 Santa Barbara was 2nd,the 3/1 chance chased the leaders early and sat 3rd a furlong out. She was soon 2nd but keeping on at the same pace meant she couldn't quite catch the winner Thundering Nights who came home by a neck. In the 4.10 Pondus was also 2nd,the 11/8 favourite moved into 2nd a furlong out but never threatened the winner Amhran Na Bhfiann who romped home by 7 lengths.
After a busy 3 days the new week gets off to a quiet start with no racing in Ireland on Monday. There are meetings at Southwell,Lingfield and Pontefract with evening cards at Windsor and Musselburgh. The next Irish card is at Roscommon on Tuesday where the listed Lenebane Stakes takes centre stage. My preview of that will be up on Monday night.
