Monday saw some good results for both my picks at Ballinrobe, in the 6.05 Red Azalea won. The 8/13 favourite led early and despite being briefly joined a furlong out she regained the lead inside the final furlong. She stayed on well to beat Roman Bull by 2 1/2 lengths. The 7.05 saw Laelaps finish 2nd. The 11/4 shot was 3rd early going into 2nd three out. He led from a furlong out but was passed close to home. He kept on at the same pace losing to Takeachancejimmy by 1 1/4 lengths.
The week continues with 8 races at Ballinrobe on Tuesday evening where two stand out.
6.00: Brewin Dolphin Rated Novice Hurdle.
2: Lieutenant Highway: A useful hurdler who is on a hat-trick after wins at Clonmel in May and Downpatrick at the beginning of last month. He has good claims and should pick up another win here.
6.30: Boylesports Handicap Hurdle.
3: Island Mahee: Picked up her career best win at Cartmel 23 days ago. She went clear on the run-in to easily come home by 5 1/2 lengths and going back up in trip here means she has to be taken seriously as she bids to complete a hat-trick.
