The week ended with a mixed bag of results. At Tipperary Seisai won,the 2/1 joint favourite tracked the leaders early and was 3rd at halfway. Despite bumping a rival under 2 furlongs out she was soon in the lead coming home by 1/2 a length. At Wexford Smitty Bacall came 6th,the 9/2 chance was 3rd before a mistake 3 out. He had no extra from 2 out with the 28/1 shot Filon D'Oudairies winning by 3/4 of a length.
Another full on weekend begins on Saturday with 8 races at both Cork and Kilbeggan, the main event at Cork comes at 4.55 when 11 line-up for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Give Thanks Stakes. La Petite Coco has picked up 2 wins from 4 runs this year her career best came at Killarney 26 days ago where she comfortably crossed the line 2 1/4 lengths in front. More progress is expected here and she will go well. Thunder Kiss is the main challenger a smart filly with an excellent record this year,her 2 wins have come at Dundalk and on this course in June and she was a good 4th in the International Stakes at The Curragh 42 days ago,she arrives here with her stable in good form and she is a threat. The other one on the list is Willow who after a win at Naas in June wasn't disgraced when a creditable 4th in the Irish Oaks at The Curragh last time out and she can definitely make her presence felt here. The big race at Kilbeggan is at 7.45 when 15 start the Kilmurray's Homevalue Hardware Mullingar Handicap Chase. Demain Des L'aube was a course and distance winner back in June but was a below form 10th at Limerick when last seen 28 days ago,however he is capable of bouncing back and should do that here. Desire De Joie was a good 4th in a novice chase here at the beginning of last month,he goes down in trip to make his handicap chase debut and is on the shortlist. The other is Samurai Cracker who's latest win was at Down Royal in March and he was a good third on his return at Limerick 28 days ago and he definitely can't be ruled out.
Big race predictions: Cork: 9: La Petite Coco Kilbeggan:5: Demain Des L'aube.
