At Leopardstown on Thursday it was a decent day for my picks,in the opener Shanghai Dragon was 4th. The 100/30 shot was 5th at halfway but made no headway after being bumped entering the straight when 4th and she didn't get a clear run from 2 out. She soon made no impression and had no extra from a furlong out. Yerwanthere won the race beating Sareeha by 2 3/4 lengths. In the Ballycorus Stakes Dr Zempf won. The 13/8 favourite challenged entering the straight and led for a second time 2 out. He was clear a furlong out keeping on well to beat Straight Answer by 2 lengths.
Seven races take place at both Fairyhouse and Clonmel on Friday with two standout contests.
Fairyhouse 4.45: Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden.
6: Apache Outlaw: Improved on his debut performance when 2nd at The Curragh 3 weeks ago. He was 1 3/4 lengths behind Papilio that day and should go one better here as he sets a high standard.
Clonmel 7.55: Quirke Upvc Windows (Clonmel) Opportunity Handicap Chase.
3: I'll Be That Lady: Picked up her first career win at Tipperary in May and was a very creditable 2nd at Punchestown 13 days ago when favourite. She goes back down in trip here and should continue her recent improvement.
