The big midweek race saw my pick Moshammer finish 5th. The 11/4 joint favourite was prominent early soon tracking the leaders sitting 4th entering the straight. However he made no impression when he edged left and bumped a rival over a furlong out keeping on at one pace. In an exciting finish Eloso just held on to win beating Faron by a neck.
7 races take place at Thurles on Thursday where the main event is the final contest on the card at 3.30 when 9 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Flat Race. Keepthefaithinme showed plenty of promise when 3rd in a bumper on debut at Limerick 25 days ago. He should improve and with his yard in excellent form he gets the vote here to win on his second run. Castlehill Boy looked good when he finished 2nd on his penultimate start at Cork in August last year but he couldn't follow that up when 10th on this course when last seen back in February. He can bounce back and is the main challenger. The shortlist is rounded off by Beeverstown Bullet who's best performance came last time out when he finished 3rd at Fairyhouse at the beginning of October. This fair horse can definitely make his presence felt here and can't be ruled out.
Big race prediction: 2: Keepthefaithinme.
