It was another good day with both my Thursday picks winning. At Tipperary The Antarctic sat 2nd at halfway and improved to lead narrowly 1 1/2 furlongs out. The 6/4 favourite was strongly pressed in the final 100 yards but he kept on best close to home beating Wodao by 1/2 a length. Over at Kilbeggan Walk On The Moone was at the rear early making headway to press the leaders from 2 out. She led soon after going clear and despite drifting right inside the final furlong she beat Blossom De Mai by 5 1/2 lengths.
A second day at Kilbeggan rounds off the week with 7 races and two features.
6.30: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase.
2: Brave Way: A useful winner over hurdles who was a let-down on her chasing debut at Thurles when last seen 6 months ago finishing 4th. However much better is expected here and she is worth another chance.
7.30: Racing Again Friday Evening May 13th Beginners Chase.
1: Bacardys: A smart hurdler at his best but he hasn't won since 2019. He was a good second behind Max Flamingo in a novice chase at Thurles 34 days ago and despite the fact that he can make the odd mistake another bold bid is likely here.
