Wednesday was a poor day for my picks at Fairyhouse, in the 5.25 Ebendi was 5th. The 6/4 favourite was in touch sitting 2nd at halfway. He made no impression in 3rd from 2 out dropping down the field soon after offering no extra. Nibiru won the race by 2 lengths. It wasn't much better in the 7.30 with Ice Cold In Alex finishing 6th. The 11/4 favourite was slowly into his stride not getting a clear run from a furlong out. He ran on inside the final furlong but couldn't reach the leaders,Lexington Dash beat Is That Love by 1 1/4 lengths.
There are 2 meetings on Thursday evening with 7 races at both Limerick and Leopardstown with 3 contests standing out.
Limerick 7.15: Annacotty Rated Race.
1: Mazagran: A useful horse who won this race last year and was a good 2nd over course and distance on his reappearance 26 days ago. He should challenge again and go one better.
Leopardstown 7.30: Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Nasrullah' Handicap.
10: Flying Dolphin: A lightly-raced winner who last tasted success at Gowran Park in May. He was a fine fifth in the King George v Stakes at Royal Ascot 3 weeks ago. Despite not being ideally placed he stayed on well towards the finish and should be taken seriously here.
Leopardstown 8.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Stanerra Stakes (Group 3)
2: Rosscarbery: A smart filly who ran an excellent race to finish 3rd behind La Petite Coco in the Pretty Polly Stakes at The Curragh 11 days ago. Despite being disqualified after when her rider weighed in light and demoted to 9th she should still go well again here.
