Friday was a mixed day for my picks, at Killarney Purple Mountain failed to finish. The 5/1 shot was in midfield dropping to the rear from 4 out. He was soon detached being pulled up 3 out,the race was won by Effernock Fizz who came home by 4 lengths. In the 7.20 at Kilbeggan Siberian Prince was 2nd. The 100/30 chance led early but wasn't fluent from the 9th. He was passed approaching the last and had no extra on the run-in, Brave Way went clear to win by 3 3/4 lengths.
There are two meetings on Saturday with 8 races at The Curragh and 7 at Killarney with 3 main events.
The Curragh 3.10: Galileo Irish EBF Futurity Stakes (Group 2)
5: Proud And Regal: A promising horse who has been a course and distance winner in his career. He picked up his second victory in the Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown a month ago beating Hellsing by 1 1/4 lengths and with more to come he can complete his hat-trick here.
The Curragh 3.45: Alpha Centauri Debutante Stakes (Group 2)
3: Meditate: Has 3 wins from 3 runs this year,her last was an impressive performance when taking the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot 64 days ago. With even better to come she is the one to beat and can give her trainer Aidan O’Brien his 10th win in this race since 2003.
Killarney 5.05: Tote Always Sp Or Better Handicap Chase (Grade B)
8: Rock Road: A good horse who picked up his career best win in a handicap hurdle at Galway 24 days ago. He travelled strongly that day and has impressed over fences so gets the nod here.
