Saturday was a good day for my picks at The Curragh, in the 2.10 Tough Talk was 2nd. The 1/1 favourite was 2nd at halfway. He made no impression from a furlong out keeping on at one pace allowing Blackbeard to win by 3 1/2 lengths. The 2.45 saw A Case Of You finish 3rd. The 13/8 favourite was in midfield early making headway from 2 out. He dropped to 3rd soon after while upfront Brad The Brief won by 1/2 a length. In the Irish 2000 Guineas Native Trail won. The 2/5 favourite sat 3rd two out making headway to lead a furlong from the finish. He kept on well in the final 100 yards beating New Energy by 1 3/4 lengths.
It's another excellent day at The Curragh on Sunday with 3 highlights.
2.40: Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1)
8: State Of Rest: A good horse who is back on home soil after some brilliant overseas runs. Wins in a Grade 1 at Saratoga and the Cox Plate in Australia where followed up by another victory in the Prix Ganay at Longchamp on his reappearance earlier this month. He should be able to extend that winning run here.
3.10: Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2)
8: Twilight Spinner: A smart filly who picked up her career best win in the Athasi Stakes on this course 20 days ago. She beat Cigamia by 3 1/4 lengths and should be suited by going up in trip here. It won’t be as comfortable in this one but a bold bid is expected.
3.45: Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas (Group 1)
6: Homeless Songs: A highly promising horse who won a trial for this race at Leopardstown 50 days ago. She beat Agartha by a length showing an impressive turn of foot close to home. Going up to a mile shouldn’t be an issue and she can make her presence felt.
