It was a day of differing results for my picks at Dundalk. In the 6.30 Patrick Street was 6th, the 85/40 favourite was in midfield early disputing 5th. He was 4th a furlong out but weakened soon after. The race was won by Singsong Lady who beat Aristovic by a neck. The 7.30 saw Jered Maddox come 3rd, the 6/1 shot was slowly away sitting 9th 2 out. He kept on without threatening in the final furlong grabbing 3rd close to home. Prisoner's Dilemma won by 2 1/4 lengths.
The Irish flat season gets underway at The Curragh on Saturday with 2 standout contests on an 8 race card. These are my picks for those.
3.41: Lodge Park Stud Irish EBF Park Express Stakes (Group 3)
2: Mother Earth: Winner of the 1000 Guineas last season and a good 4th in the Hong Kong Mile on her last start in December. This smart filly sets a high standard and is the one to beat here.
4.16: Paddy Power Irish Lincolnshire
9: Raadobarg: Picked up 3 wins from 6 runs last year and was sixth at Kempton when last seen in September. Despite being off 178 days he is an interesting prospect on his first run for Johnny Murtagh and should go well.
