On Friday both my picks at Kilbeggan finished 2nd. In the 6.30 Brave Way tracked the leaders and led from 2 out. The 4/6 favourite was strongly pressed at the last being passed inside the final furlong. She kept on close to home with Esthers Marvel winning by 1 1/4 lengths. The 7.30 saw Bacardys make a slight mistake at the 2nd leaving him 3rd 4 out. He went 2nd inside the final furlong without reaching the winner Baptism Of Fire who came home by 2 lengths.
It's a busy Saturday with the 3 big races coming as part of an 8 race card at Navan.
3.41: Committed Stakes.
6: Straight Answer: Made a good impression when winning his first two starts last year. A Maiden at The Curragh and the listed Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse. Despite disappointing in the Dewhurst on his last outing he is well worth another chance here.
4.15: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Salsabil Stakes.
1: Concert Hall: A useful filly who picked up 2 wins from 6 runs last year. Her final run saw her finish 6th to Inspiral in the Fillies Mile at Newmarket in October but despite being off 6 months fitness shouldn't be an issue and she is a big player here.
4.46: Vintage Crop Stakes.
8: Search For A Song: A smart mare who has won the Irish St Leger twice. She last ran over in France in October. She went well on her return last year so could be the way to go here.
There are also 8 races at Limerick where the feature is the 4.30 and my pick for that is number 9 Business.
