It wasn't a great end to the week for my picks. At Killarney Raya Time failed to finish,the 6/1 chance was tracking the leaders when he fell at the first. The race was won by the 10/1 shot Capuccimix who beat Everlastingpromise by 6 lengths. At Kilbeggan Streets Of Doyen was a non runner, Not Available won by 5 1/2 lengths.
There are 8 races at The Curragh on Saturday and the highlight at 3.25 is the big race of the weekend when 8 line-up for the Juddmonte Irish Oaks. It's hard to look past Snowfall who after winning the Musidora Stakes at York on her reappearance in May went on to win the English Oaks at Epsom by a massive 16 lengths. It's likely to be a quicker surface here but she should still win completing the Oaks double. Nicest was a winner on debut at Leopardstown a year ago and was very impressive when 3rd to Loving Dream in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot last month,however she will only battle for the minor places here along with Divinely who was 4th in the same race at the Royal meeting and was well behind Snowfall in the Oaks before that. If your looking for an outsider then Willow fits the bill this useful filly was last in the Oaks but bounced back to win the listed Naas Oaks Trial 24 days ago. She came home by 1 1/4 lengths there and could easily capitalise on any weak performances.
Big race prediction: 7: Snowfall.
Either side of the Irish Oaks are some important races. At 2.20 6 start the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes where Beauty Inspire heads the field. Then at 2.50 8 begin the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes where Logo Hunter is looking for a hat-trick and at 4.00 19 line-up for the Scurry Handicap look out for Rough Diamond here.
