Thursday's pick Cilaos Emery won. The 30/100 favourite was 3 lengths clear at halfway, he travelled well from 2 out keeping on excellently in the closing stages. He easily beat Darver Star by 3 lengths.
8 races at Dundalk round off the week and the highlight comes at 7.30 when 8 begin the Extra Places Everyday At Betvictor Handicap. Bradesco enjoys running here. He picked up his career best win over this race distance at the beginning of this month and despite not being suited by the drop in trip he won again 9 days ago. He should make it a hat-trick moving back up to 2 miles. Jake Peter is a course and distance winner who was a creditable 4th here 2 weeks ago. He goes significantly back up in trip and is the main challenger. The other threat is Belgoprince he was a creditable 9th in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham earlier this month. His last win was in a 23 runner handicap at Navan in late October and with a decent record on the All-weather he deserves respect. Of the rest keep an eye on Bold Approach a course winner who was a good 5th to Jason The Millitant in a listed race at Naas 26 days ago. Going back up in trip here gives him a chance if he can rediscover his old form.
Big race prediction: 7: Bradesco.
This is my 450th post so a quick thank you to all who have taken the time to read this blog hopefully we've found some winners and fingers crossed for another 450.
