28/8/21 Navan

 It was a mixed end to the week for my picks,at The Curragh Champers Elysees was 2nd. The 100/30 shot was 7th at halfway, she pressed the leader a furlong out but kept on at the same pace in the closing stages and was no match for the winner Acanella who won by 3/4 of a length. In the Irish Cambridgeshire Music To My Ears finished 13th. The 12/1 chance was 6th 2 out but made no impression 1 1/2 furlongs from the finish leaving the 28/1 shot Bopedro to win by 2 1/2 lengths. Over at Down Royal Go Another One was 3rd. The 4/5 favourite led early but wasn't fluent from 4 out. He sat 4th before the last keeping on well to move up to 3rd close to home. The 16/1 chance Mon Storm won by a comfortable 8 lengths. 

 A quiet weekend sees just 8 races at Navan on Saturday where the feature is the 2.32 when 15 begin the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden. Obtain makes her debut here but appeals,this half-sister to Immediate has lots to like on paper and could be well up to doing the job. Pepper Streak improved on her debut 4th when second at Naas just 6 days ago,she should improve further and may go one better. Arges is a useful colt who despite not having won yet after 8 flat runs should do well returning to Maiden company where he has picked up two second place finishes this year so he definitely has solid claims. Of the rest Pale Moonlight looks good, she hinted at some ability when finishing 10th on debut at Naas a week ago,she goes down in trip and should improve. 

Big race prediction: 9: Obtain.
