Racing returns to Ireland on Thursday with an 8 race card at Killarney and 2 standout contests,the first is the 5.45 when 12 begin the M.D. O'Shea & Sons Vincent O’Brien Ruby Stakes. Khartoum is a useful colt who last won at Naas in May. After finishing 2nd in a listed race at The Curragh in June he wasn't disgraced when 6th in the Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood 20 days ago and going back down in grade here gives him the nod. Neptune Rock was a winner at Leopardstown in June and she returned there to finish 5th in the Desmond Stakes a week ago,she has been progressing well recently and with more to offer can challenge. The other to consider is Tazaral who's one win from three runs this year came at Gowran Park, he followed that up with a good second at Navan 40 days ago and with this being only his fourth career outing he is hard to rule out. The other big race comes at 7.15 when 12 line-up for the Laurels Pub And Restaurant Kingdom Gold Cup Handicap. Wonder Laish didn't need to be at his best when winning at Kilbeggan 12 days ago,that was a tactical affair over hurdles and he has a good chance here. Monas Melody won over this course and distance in July and was a good second at Galway when last seen at the beginning of this month and she will definitely challenge. Rebellito was fifth in a handicap at Naas on his Irish flat debut 17 days ago,that was his first run for 18 months and better is expected here as long as this race hasn't come too soon. The other to look at is Sevenna Star who despite not having won in his last 12 starts was a very good second in a handicap at Tramore last weekend and he should not be dismissed.
Big race predictions: 5.45: 8: Khartoum 7.15: 4: Wonder Laish.
