Sunday turned out to be a good day for both my picks at The Curragh. In the 2.30 Sunset Shiraz was 2nd,the 100/30 chance was 3rd early but improved to lead from 2 out. She was put under pressure and passed inside the final furlong by Concert Hall the 9/2 shot won by a length. The 3.35 saw The Mediterranean also finish 2nd,the 1/1 favourite sat 4th 3 out. He struggled to make an impression from a furlong out keeping on without threatening the easy winner Search For A Song who came home by 9 1/2 lengths.
A busy week begins with 7 races at Roscommon on Monday where the highlight is the 3.35 when 6 start the Ballymore Group Irish EBF Kilbegnet Novice Chase. Bold Enough made a good start to his chase career winning at Wexford and over this course and distance at the beginning of the summer. He was a good 3rd in a grade 2 at Galway when last seen in July and with more to come he should provide trainer Henry De Bromhead with a third win in this race in the last 4 years. Exit Poll is a useful chaser who was at his best when winning a handicap chase at Kilbeggan 24 days ago and he should definitely be respected as his yard is in very good form. Druid's Altar has picked up 3 wins from 7 runs this season,his last was a very easy 15 length success at Wexford 23 days ago. He was behind Bold Enough at Galway in July but still shouldn’t be overlooked as he bids for a hat-trick.
Big race prediction: 1: Bold Enough.
