It was a mixed end to the week for my picks. At Bellewstown Eurocrat was a non runner the race was won by the 11/10 favourite Tuwaiq. At Wexford Somptueux was 2nd,the 6/1 chance chased the leaders from 4 out moving into 3rd after jumping the last. She went into 2nd in the final 110 yards with the 100/30 favourite Top Moon holding on to win by 2 1/2 lengths.
Yet another busy weekend begins on Saturday with 7 races at Naas and 8 at Bellewstown,the feature contest at Naas comes at 1.20 when 9 start the Irish EBF Median Sires Series (Turf). Geocentric makes her debut here a sister to useful winners No Leaf Clover and To Wafij makes this notable newcomer one to take a chance on. Hadman picked up his first victory in a maiden at Gowran Park 20 days ago,he just about held on there winning by a head making him a strong challenger. Up Above delivered his best performance when 3rd at The Curragh just 8 days ago and off the back of that he should be a threat again here. The other one worth a look is Mary Pickersgill who was 6th over this course and distance on debut 10 days ago,she should progress further and definitely needs consideration. Over at Bellewstown the highlight of the card is the 5.35 when 18 line-up for the Bar One Racing Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle. Run For Oscar last picked up a victory at Fairyhouse back in November and looked good when finishing 6th on his season return at Down Royal just over 2 weeks ago,he should be sharper having had that run and can definitely make it 2 wins from his last 3 starts here. Winner Takes Itall is another one who should build on his season reappearance, he finished 10th at Punchestown 35 days ago but putting that run to one side he definitely deserves consideration. The other main challenger is Wouldn't You Agree he made a winning start over hurdles at Listowel in June coming home by 1 1/2 lengths and he built on that with a good second in the Boylesports Novice Hurdle at Wexford last time out and he is definitely a danger.
Big race predictions: Naas: 2: Geocentric Bellewstown: 3: Run For Oscar.
