Wednesday saw my first winner of the week thanks to Grange Walk. The 4/1 joint favourite was towards the rear early but made progress from 2 out. He led entering the straight and was 3 lengths clear after the last,he kept on well and despite having his advantage reduced he came home by 2 3/4 lengths.
All eyes turn to Naas on Thursday where the highlight of a 7 race card comes at 4.20 when 16 start the Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden. Gaire Os Ard has finished second on this course twice this year and arrives after finishing 3rd at Down Royal earlier this month, with more to come she should go one better here. Gabbys Girl needs to bounce back after finishing 7th at Navan 12 days ago,if she can find the form that saw her finish 2nd at Leopardstown last month she can definitely challenge. Eurocrat followed up a 3rd at Leopardstown on debut with a 5th at Galway when last seen at the beginning of August, both runs were over this races distance and he should run well here. The other on the shortlist makes her debut Corporal Violette who is a half-sister to Ghaziyah and out of the newcomers she has the best chance.
Big race prediction: 14: Gaire Os Ard.
