Thursday saw both of my picks come 2nd. In the 2.55 Gibraltar led early but was passed at the 2nd, he improved to sit 2nd 4 out but dropped to 3rd soon after. He moved back into 2nd at the last just holding on. The race was won by the 40/1 shot Advanced Virgo who came home by 1 1/4 lengths. The 4.25 saw Wild Hunt sit at the rear of midfield early and make a mistake at the 4th. He made headway moving into 5th 2 out improving further to be 3rd at the last. Despite coming under pressure he kept on well on the run-in gaining another place but he couldn't catch the winner Nell's Well who won by 1 1/4 lengths.
Eight races at Dundalk on Friday evening round off the week with the following being my 2 tips.
6.30: Find Us On Facebook @Dundalkstadium Handicap
1: Patrick Street: Was an easy 2 length winner on this course when last seen 37 days ago. He was well on top at the finish and should progress here making him a big player.
7.30: Hone Of Irish All Weather Racing At Dundalk Stadium Handicap
7: Jered Maddox: Picked up his 3rd win over course and distance in mid February and is getting better with each recent run. Despite facing tougher opposition here he should complete a straight hat-trick.
