28/1/22 Dundalk

 Thursday didn't go well for my picks,in the 2.05 Klassical Dream finished 4th. The 1/3 favourite led early but wasn't fluent at the 8th. He was passed 2 out dropping to 3rd at the last. He made no impression inside the final furlong weakening while upfront Royal Kahala won by 1 3/4 lengths. It was worse in the 3.05 with Escaria Ten coming 8th. The 9/1 shot was at the rear of midfield but made progress to sit 5th 3 out. He soon made no impression dropping down the field leaving Longhouse Poet to beat Franco De Port by 3/4 of a length. 

 The week reaches it’s conclusion with 7 races at Dundalk on Friday where the main event is the 6.00 where 7 start the Join Us On Instagram @ dundalk_stadium Race. Knocklane Lass was a course and distance winner in December and returned to be a good 3rd when favourite 44 days ago. She has fitness and track experience on her side giving her the edge. Hadman is a useful horse who was 8th to Sacred Bridge in the Round Tower Stakes at The Curragh when last seen in August. Despite being off 154 days he has a good chance on form on this his polytrack debut. The main two are well matched and should fight this one out but if they falter then Spirit And Glory is the most likely to capitalise. She won a maiden on this course 2 weeks ago just about holding on at the end to come home by a nose. She will need to show further improvement if she wants to make it 2 in a row but still can't be overlooked. 

Big race prediction: 4: Knocklane Lass.
