Wednesday turned out to be a brilliant day for my picks with two winners. At Wexford Gin On Lime made all the running going clear at halfway. Her advantage was reduced 4 out but the 2/5 favourite asserted her authority again soon after easily coming home by 8 lengths. At The Curragh Sonaiyla was bumped leaving the stalls but was soon tracking the leaders sitting 4th at halfway. The 13/8 favourite was on terms 1 1/2 furlongs out and led in the final 50 yards winning by 1/2 a length.
There is an 8 race card at Leopardstown on Thursday where the main contest is the 4.50 when 8 begin the Nijinsky Stakes. Fernando Vichi won on this course early in his career and returned to be a very good third to Bolshoi Ballet in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial 25 days ago and a repeat of that performance should see him home. Flying Visit has also won on this course but his last run was an 8th in the Gallinule Stakes at The Curragh just 11 days ago,however he can still be a big player if he can bounce back. The other threat is The Mediterranean who was due to run in the Derby at Epsom on Saturday but trainer Aiden O'Brien has entered him in this race instead and he enjoys Leopardstown having won a maiden here over this races distance at the beginning of last month,he goes up in class here and has plenty more to offer. Looking at the rest of the field Max Mayhem could challenge he won at Roscommon when last seen 23 days ago,this race will be a bigger test but he is likely to improve and can't be ruled out.
Big race prediction: 3: Fernando Vichi.
