27/8/22 The Curragh

 After such a good day on Thursday Friday was a poor one for my picks, the best finisher was Ano Syra who was 4th. The 4/1 shot tracked the leaders sitting 4th two out. She kept on at one pace making no impression in the final 100 yards, Tees Spirit won the race beating Erosandpsyche by a nose. In the Group 3 at Tipperary Statement was a non-runner in a race won by Agartha while at Down Royal Home By The Lee failed to finish. The 5/2 chance was 3rd two out and still had every chance when he found himself short of room and ran out of bounds. The race was won by Salvador Ziggy who beat Off You Go by a short head.

 There are four big races at The Curragh on Saturday and in my opinion 3 stand out.

2.30: Heider Family Stables Round Tower Stakes (Group 3)

10: Treasure Trove: A useful filly who after finishing 2nd on this course in a listed race went on to pick up her career best win at York a week ago. She beat Rocket Rodney by 1 3/4 lengths being well on top at the finish. She should continue her good form here and is the one to beat.

3.40: Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes (Group 3)

3: Juncture: A decent horse who was last seen finishing second behind Boundless Ocean in the Desmond Stakes at Leopardstown 16 days ago. She was well clear of the rest there and with her yard in good form she can resume winning ways here. 

4.15: Paddy Power Supporting Cancer Trials Ireland Irish Cambridgeshire. 

26: That's Just Dandy: A horse in consistent form who was last seen finishing a good 3rd in the opening Racing League contest at Doncaster 23 days ago. He hit the front too early that day but still ran well and with his trainer having a good spell he has to be taken seriously here.
