It was a good Saturday for my tips in the big races at The Curragh, the 4.05 saw Luxembourg win. The 2/9 favourite tracked the leaders and was 4th entering the straight. He led from 1 1/2 furlongs out and despite being challenged in the final 150 yards he kept on well edging ahead in the final strides beating Insinuendo by a neck. In the other Group 3 Search For A Song was 2nd. The 6/4 shot was 2nd early leading from 6 out. She was passed 2 out making no impression in the final furlong allowing Raise You to win by 2 lengths. At Tramore Stellium was a non-runner in a race won by Gibraltar.
A quiet end to the weekend sees just 7 races at Tramore on Sunday but there are two features.
4.00: Victoria House Tramore Mares Beginners Chase.
5: Inclusion: Was last seen finishing 6th in a bumper at Worcester in April last year. He has been off 15 months but this is his chase debut and first run for Willie Mullins so he is worth a chance to make a winning start over fences.
4.35: McCartneys Irish Bar Lexington Handicap Chase.
2: Tune The Chello: Should have taken this race 12 months ago but an error at the last ended her challenge. Her reappearance run where she finished 10th at Limerick 25 days ago was needed and with improvement definitely on the cards she can go one better in this renewal.
