Sunday was another interesting day for my picks. At Kilbeggan Three By Two was 9th,the 10/3 chance led early and was clear after the 3rd. However mistakes saw her advantage reduced by 2 out and she was passed soon after she weakened allowing the 9/2 shot Asserted to win by 4 1/2 lengths. At Listowel My Sister Sarah won,the 6/5 favourite was 5th at halfway and was 3rd 2 out. She challenged in the final 150 yards and kept on well under pressure winning by a nose.
The week begins with another double header on Monday this time there are 8 races at Gowran Park and 8 at Listowel. The main event at Gowran Park comes at 2.20 when 17 begin the Visit Kilkenny.ie Handicap. Ice Cold In Alex last picked up a victory back in 2018 but looked like he was coming back to form when finishing a respectable 9th at Leopardstown just 4 days ago and he could build on that here. Galtee Mist has picked up one win from three runs this year that came at Listowel on Saturday, she is getting better with each run in 2021 and is definitely the main challenger. The other threat could be Silver Service who was a good 8th to Sonaiyla in the Ballyogan Stakes at The Curragh 5 days ago and she definitely should be considered. The other two to look at are both looking for revenge on Galtee Mist,Is That Love was 5th at Listowel 2 days ago but he has already picked up 5 wins from 10 runs this year and should go well while Godhead was 6th and needs to bounce back here. At Listowel the big race is the 3.35 when 13 line-up for the Bryan Macmahon Handicap Hurdle. Place Des Vosges last won over hurdles at Thurles in November and was a good third when last seen at Tipperary 18 days ago,that was her best run over obstacles since her return and she gets the nod. Wowsham picked up his career best win in a novice hurdle at Perth 26 days ago,he makes his handicap hurdle debut here and is definitely a threat. Ask Nile should also be considered he was a good second in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in mid May,he makes the switch from chasing to hurdles here and goes back up in trip so definitely can't be overlooked.
Big race predictions: Gowran Park: 14: Ice Cold In Alex Listowel:3: Place Des Vosges.
