The big race on Saturday saw my pick Right Turn finish 2nd. The 7/2 chance was 4th at halfway moving up to 3rd 3 out. He improved further to lead just over a furlong from the finish. He kept on well but was passed in the closing stages by Sanosuke who won by 1 1/4 lengths.
It's back to a two meeting day on Sunday with 8 races at Dundalk and 7 at Tramore, the feature contest at Dundalk is the 4.25 when 13 start the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Red God' (Premier Handicap.) Safecracker confirmed the promise shown in previous starts when winning a maiden over this course and distance 34 days ago,he makes his handicap debut here and will definitely be in the mix. Hale Bopp clearly wasn't 100% when 15th in the Dubai Duty Free at The Curragh in June,however he goes significantly up in trip here and with improvement likely he is a threat. Alhaazm has won on this course 4 times in his career his latest was in April, that was his second victory this year and going up in trip means he definitely enters calculations. The other who gets on the shortlist is Bowerman another course and distance winner who found himself short of room when 12th in a handicap at Galway 19 days ago,however going up to 1 mile 2 furlongs gives him a chance. The main event on the final day of the August festival at Tramore is the 4.35 when 11 begin the Mccarthys Irish Bar Lexington Handicap Chase. Tune The Chello picked up his career best win in a novice chase at Limerick when last seen 36 days ago,he makes his handicap chase debut here and should be up there again in this competitive affair. Centurion Steel won over this course and distance back in June and was a respectable 3rd at Limerick 36 days ago and is the main danger here. Stylish Moment put in his best performance this year when 2nd at Killarney last month and if he is able to back that up he will definitely be involved here.
Big race predictions: Dundalk: 13: Safecracker Tramore: 5: Tune The Chello.
