It was another poor day for my picks on Friday, at Dundalk Drunk In Love was 4th. The 6/4 favourite had a bad start but was soon 6th. She was 5th 2 out making no impression in the final furlong. The race was won by It's Showtime Baby who beat Carlotta by 1 1/4 lengths. Over at Wexford Ben Dundee was 5th,the 13/8 favourite tracked the leaders and sat 5th at halfway. He improved to 3rd 4 out and was disputing the lead entering the straight. He was passed 2 out and had no extra keeping on at one pace. The race was won by R'evelyn Pleasure who came home by 4 lengths.
Seven races at Leopardstown kick off a busy weekend with 3 standout contests.
2.35: Ballylinch Stud 'Red Rocks' 2,000 Guineas Trial Stakes.
1: Dr Zempf: Signed off last season with a creditable 8th in the Middle Park Stakes. Has the edge on form and should get back to winning ways here before he tackles better company again.
3.10: Ballylinch Stud 'Priory Belle' 1,000 Guineas Trial Stakes (Group 3)
8: Sacred Bridge: Was unbeaten in her first 4 starts before ending the campaign with a very good 8th in the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket. She wasn't disgraced that day and should pick up her fifth win on this her season return.
3.45: P.W. Mcgrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes ( Group 3)
4: Buckaroo: A promising horse who improved with each run last season culminating in a 4th in the Group 1 Criterium De Saint Cloud in October. Despite being off 161 days he should make a successful reappearance here.
