Thursday wasn't a bad day for my picks, at Sligo Dartington was 4th. The 7/4 favourite tracked the leaders and was 4th at halfway. He made a bad mistake 2 out and made no impression on the run-in, upfront Faron beat Weddell Sea by 1/2 a length. In the big Group 3 at Leopardstown Cleveland finished 2nd. The 3/1 shot was 4th at halfway improving to 3rd entering the straight. He was 2nd a furlong out keeping on well in the final 100 yards just failing to reach the winner Gear Up who came home by a neck.
There are two more meetings on Friday to round off the week with seven races at both Tipperary and Wexford where 2 stand out.
Tipperary 6.45: Coolmore Stud Churchill Stakes.
2: Hellsing: A promising horse who has 1 win from 2 runs this year,that came on Debut at The Curragh in May and he was then an excellent 2nd behind Proud And Regal in the Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago. That was his first run in group company and with more to come he sets the standard here.
Wexford 7.00: Support The Irish Injured Jockeys Opportunity Handicap Chase.
5: Direct Image: Extended his winning run to 5 when taking handicap hurdles at Tipperary and Punchestown this season. Makes his fences return here and is hard to oppose giving him every chance to make it 6 in a row.
