It was a poor day for both my picks,at Limerick Noble Birth was 6th. The 15/2 shot was prominent early sitting 3rd after the 2nd. A bad mistake 4 out ended his challenge and he made no impression in 5th 2 out and another mistake at the last saw him fall to 6th. The race was won by Sparkling Stars who beat Francios by 3/4 of a length. The least said about the 5.30 at Gowran Park the better with Zaajirah finishing 13th. The 5/2 favourite was slightly hampered leaving the stalls but made progress to be 3rd at halfway. However she weakened just over a furlong out dropping down the field. Red Heel won by 1/2 a length.
There are 7 races at both Ballinrobe and Dundalk on Friday with 2 highlights.
Ballinrobe 5.35: McGrath Limestone Works Handicap Hurdle.
8: The Dara Man: Definitely looked back on track after a 120 day break when winning a handicap chase at Limerick by 11 lengths almost 2 weeks ago. Despite a quick return he is respected back over hurdles and gets the nod.
Dundalk 7.50: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.
10: Honey Girl: A promising horse who improved on her debut run when second over course and distance on her last outing in early December. She was well clear of the rest that day and despite being off 119 days she should progress further and go one better here.
