Friday was an interesting day for my picks. At Down Royal Snaffles won,the 8/15 favourite was prominent and sat 2nd at halfway. He travelled well and led from 1 1/2 furlongs out,he asserted his authority and drew clear inside the final furlong easily coming home by 5 lengths. It was a different story at Kilbeggan with Kitty Galore coming 9th. The 3/1 favourite led early and was clear,her advantage was reduced after a mistake 3 out and she was passed at the next weakening after allowing the 7/1 chance Trixie Mc to win by 2 3/4 lengths.
Two more meetings on Saturday see 7 races at both Navan and Wexford,the feature at Navan is the 3.00 when 8 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery Handicap. Heart To Heart was a good second over 6 furlongs on this course a week ago only being caught in the final 100 yards after leading,she drops to 5 furlongs in this race and should go one better. Jarvis finished 9th at The Curragh when last seen 22 days ago,he travelled well for a long way so on that evidence the drop back in trip here should suit making him the main challenger. The other threat should be Threebagsfull who last won at Bellewstown in July and was 7th to Head Mistress in a listed race at The Curragh in mid August so he should be competitive back in nursery company. Over at Wexford the main event is the 3.20 when 6 start the Mokka E At Ferrybank Motors Rated Novice Chase. Druid's Altar beat a couple in this field at Killarney 2 weeks ago with a bit in hand making him the one to beat here. The main danger is Jungle Junction who's latest win was at Fairyhouse in April before going on to be a 4 1/4 length second to Druid's Altar at Killarney, his jumping was better their so he should be a player. The other one with a chance is Effernock Fizz a useful hurdler who's last win was over the flat at The Curragh in June,however she has potential over fences and could show that here. The other to look at is Optical Confusion who's latest win was in a chase at Ballinrobe in May,he was a bit below form when 5th in a handicap chase at Tipperary 48 days ago so he has a bit to find here but he could still challenge.
Big race predictions: Navan: 4: Heart To Heart Wexford: 5: Druid's Altar.
