I think we can gloss over Monday with both my picks getting poor results. At Listowel Flying Scotsman was 10th,the 7/1 chance made slight mistakes at the 2nd and the 3rd and made no impression towards the rear from 3 out. He kept on at one pace in the straight and was never a factor while upfront Autumn Evening won by 4 lengths. It was slightly better at Fairyhouse with Ultramarine coming 5th,the 3/1 shot was 5th at halfway. He moved up to 4th a furlong out but with no further pace coming he dropped back to 5th on the line. The 2/1 favourite Straight Answer easily won by 5 1/2 lengths.
Day 3 at Listowel takes centre stage on Tuesday with 8 races and the feature is the 4.37 when 11 begin the Edmund & Josie Whelan Memorial Listowel Stakes. Roca Roma is a useful filly who was a very respectable 2nd in a Group 3 at Tipperary 26 days ago,she faired best of those held up and should be well up there here. Saltonstall arrives having not won in his last 11 runs but he was a good 10th in a handicap at The Curragh just 9 days ago and that effort along with his stable having a good spell means he can't be ruled out. The other to keep an eye on in this open contest is Finans Bay a smart horse who was a very creditable 4th in the same Curragh handicap last week,he stayed on well in the final furlong that day and should be competitive again in this one.
Big race prediction: 7: Roca Roma.
