The big race at Clonmel on Thursday saw my pick Easy Game finish 3rd. The 7/2 shot tracked the leaders and was 3rd at halfway. He was pushed along but made no impression approaching the straight. He kept on at one pace from 2 out with the 5/4 favourite Fakir D'Oudairies easily winning by 15 lengths, afterwards he was cut to 14/1 for the King George on Boxing Day.
The week is rounded off with 8 races at Dundalk on Friday where the highlight is the opener at 3.45 when 6 line-up for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race. Andreas Vesalius is a useful colt who after winning at Naas in May returned to good form when a very creditable 2nd in the Anglesey Stakes at The Curragh when last seen in mid July. Despite being off 118 days and this being his polytrack debut he will be hard to beat. Neo Soul has been in good recent form,his last run was a respectable second in a maiden at Navan 23 days ago. He is another making their polytrack debut and with his yard having a good spell he is a danger. The other who should battle for the minor places is Ecoutez who has her 3rd run here. A 3rd on debut at Navan was followed up by a 5th at Cork 45 days ago. Improvement is needed but she does have an outside chance.
Big race prediction: 1: Andreas Vesalius.
