It was a decent Friday for both my picks,at Downpatrick Fissa was 3rd. The 8/13 favourite was up with the leaders early sitting 3rd at halfway. He was 2nd when he made a mistake 3 out but he recovered to be on terms at the next. He was passed soon after disputing 3rd at the last keeping on at one pace. The race went to the 40/1 shot Kingston Retreat who won by 3 3/4 lengths. Over at Dundalk Jack Rose won,the 11/8 favourite was 6th at halfway. He made headway travelling well early in the straight to lead by a furlong out,he soon asserted himself comfortably coming home by 2 1/2 lengths.
An exciting weekend begins on Saturday with 8 races at Fairyhouse and 7 at Limerick, the feature contest at Fairyhouse is the 2.30 when 14 begin the Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Chase. Favori Logique has three wins from six runs this season his last was by an easy 10 lengths at Ballinrobe last month,he was running well when he fell at Sligo 24 days ago but despite that he sets the clear standard and must be taken seriously. Goodnightngodbless has been in good form recently and was a respectable 3rd at Listowel on her last run 2 weeks ago so definitely deserves respect. The other in the field to look at is Arrycan his last win was in a chase at Downpatrick back in June and he was a very good 3rd at Clonmel when last seen 9 days ago. He switches from hurdles to chasing here and should be in the mix. At Limerick the main event is the final race on the card at 4.35 when 13 line-up for the Jim Ryan Racecourse Services Munster Mile Handicap. Star Of Cashel seemed to be in good shape when 4th on his return at Listowel 18 days ago,that run was needed and with his trainer going well he should improve and not be taken lightly. No More Porter picked up his latest win at The Curragh in August and ran just as well when he returned there to finish 3rd 11 days ago. He should definitely give another good account of himself here. The other to keep an eye on is Comfort Line a course and distance winner in his career who is an up and down horse,a 3rd at Punchestown in mid September was followed up by a lesser race when he finished 7th at Listowel 18 days ago. However he can bounce back and on the pick of his form shouldn't be overlooked.
Big race predictions: Fairyhouse: 9: Favori Logique Limerick: 6: Star Of Cashel.
