Wednesday saw results at either end of the scale for my picks,in the 3.30 Bold Enough was 5th. The 7/2 shot was 5th early but moved up to 3rd 3 out. He soon made no impression on the leaders dropping 2 places. The race was won by Embittered the 5/4 favourite beat Hurricane Georgie by 2 3/4 lengths. In the 4.05 Galvin won extending his record to 6 wins in a row. The 1/1 favourite made a slight mistake 3 out while 3rd but recovered to dispute the lead before the last. He led soon after staying on well inside the final furlong to beat Annamix by 1/2 a length.
There are two meetings on Thursday with 8 races at The Curragh and 7 at Tramore, the main event at The Curragh is the 1.40 when 11 begin the Hollywoodbets Money Back If 2nd To Sp Favourite Irish EBF Maiden. New York City should be hard to beat back in maiden company after he ran well in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket 19 days ago,despite finishing 9th he wasn't disgraced and dropping back to 5 furlongs is in his favour. Lopes Gold impressed on debut finishing 2nd at Naas and followed that up with another 2nd place finish at Navan in May. She moved up to a class 1 but finished last in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse 24 days ago however she has a good shout here going back down in class. The other who can battle for the minor honours is Dancing Rebel who was second when favourite in a maiden at Navan just 8 days ago,she was hampered there but definitely has possibilities here. Tramore's highlight is the 2.02 when 13 line-up for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle. Shuil Valentine was impressive when winning a bumper by 9 lengths on debut at Naas in March and despite being a disappointing 9th at Fairyhouse when last seen 6 months ago she remains an exciting prospect and going up in trip here means she is worth a chance on her hurdles debut. Broomfield Hall is the clear threat after finishing a very good second on her hurdles debut at Listowel 24 days ago. She definitely has more to offer and will go well. The other to look at is Motown Maggie a promising horse who finished 4th in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal 48 days ago. That was her debut and with plenty of improvement likely she can’t be dismissed.
Big race predictions: The Curragh: 2: New York City Tramore: 2: Shuil Valentine.
