The best of Saturday's picks was Vadeni who came 3rd,the 7/4 favourite was 6th at halfway making progress a furlong out. He hept on in the final 100 yards without troubling the leaders, Luxembourg won the race beating Onesto by 1/2 a length. In the Justify Matron Stakes Homeless Songs finished 4th. The 5/4 favourite was in touch sitting 3rd at halfway. She made no impression from a furlong out dropping to 4th inside the final furlong. Pearls Galore took the contest by a comfortable 3 lengths.
There are 4 Group one’s on the second day of Irish Champions Weekend at The Curragh on Sunday where I think 3 stand out.
2.25: Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Flying Five Stakes ( Group 1)
12: Highfield Princess: A high-class mare who has taken her place at the top table this season. She made all the running to win the Prix Maurice De Cheest at Deauville and took the drop back to 5f in her stride to take the Nunthorpe at York by an impressive 2 1/2 lengths 3 weeks ago. She is definitely the one to beat and can complete a hat-trick of Group one’s.
3.35: Goffs Vincent O’Brien National Stakes (Group 1)
1: Aesop's Fables: A smart colt who arrives here unbeaten after a good win at Naas and in the Futurity Stakes over course and distance last time. He beat another who goes in this race Hans Andersen by 2 1/4 lengths and he can maintain his perfect start here.
4.10: Comer Group International Irish St Leger (Group 1)
4: Kyprios: A horse who has beaten all put before him this year and comes here having won 4 in a row. He has taken the Ascot Gold Cup and the Goodwood Cup on his last two starts beating Stradivarius on both occasions and should make it 5 from 5.
