Tuesday didn't go well for my picks. At Downpatrick Marajman was 4th, The 8/11 favourite led early but dropped to 2nd before the 3rd. He made no impression from 2 out dropping to 4th in the closing stages. The race was won by the 4/1 chance Buddy Rich. At Killarney Sweet Molly Malone was 5th,the 11/4 favourite was in midfield but made some headway 4 out. She dropped towards the rear from 2 out but kept on well inside the final furlong however she was never on terms allowing the 100/30 shot The Blue Brilliant to win by 3/4 of a length.
Wednesday is day 3 of the July festival at Killarney and the highlight of an 8 race card is the 5.55 when 17 line-up for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cairn Rouge Stakes. Queen's Speech was an easy 5 length winner on debut at The Curragh in November and she returned there to finish 7th in the Athasi Stakes on her reappearance 72 days ago. She performed better then the result suggests fading in the final furlong after leading for a long way and is definitely worth another look here. Mehnah is a promising filly who just failed to beat Keeper Of Time in the 1000 Guineas trial at Leopardstown at the beginning of April losing by a head. Despite being off 94 days and having a wide draw here she should still be respected. The other on the shortlist is Holly Golightly who picked up her first career win at Gowran Park in May and was a very good second in a handicap at The Curragh when last seen 53 days ago. There is definitely more to come from her and she should show that here.
Big race prediction: 13: Queen's Speech.
