It was a good end to the week for my picks,in the 6.00 at Cork Sacred Bridge won. The 5/6 favourite was prominent throughout and disputed the lead 2 out. She led narrowly inside the final 150 yards keeping on well to beat Ladies Church by a neck. At Downpatrick Reverse Polarity was 3rd. The 6/1 shot led early but was passed approaching the last. She made no impression on the run-in dropping to 3rd inside the final furlong. Hidden Land easily won by 13 lengths. In the other big race at Cork Mutasarref finished 5th. The 9/4 favourite led briefly a furlong out but was passed in the last 100 yards. He had no extra while upfront Lord Dudley won by a neck.
A busy Saturday sees 7 races at Cork and 8 at Naas with 3 highlights.
Cork 3.10: Coolagown Stud Rated Novice Hurdle.
8: Kashi: A fair hurdler who despite being winless in 11 starts over obstacles ran better then ever when 2nd in a handicap hurdle at Naas 55 days ago. He kept on well and has a good chance here back up in trip.
Naas 3.25: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Blue Wind Stakes (Group 3)
7: Tranquil Lady: Last won at Galway back in September and was a creditable 4th behind Concert Hall in a listed race at Navan 2 weeks ago. She wasn't disgraced there and is a major player in this one.
Naas 5.35: Irish Racing Writers Handicap.
3: Drombeg Banner: Showed improvement to win on his handicap debut at Cork 34 days ago. He kept on well that day and despite having a weight rise to contend with he can follow up here.
