It was a decent end to the week for both my picks,at Downpatrick Majavango was 3rd. The 9/2 shot was 5th at halfway improving to sit 2nd from 4 out. He had every chance on the run-in but made no impression dropping to 3rd close to home, Ingenious Stroke won the race by a length. Over at Dundalk Congo River won, the 4/7 favourite travelled well to lead narrowly from 1 1/2 furlongs out. He stayed on well under pressure in the final furlong to beat Dontspoilasale by a neck.
A busy Saturday sees 8 races at Navan and 7 at Gowran Park with two features.
Navan 3.10: Navan Racecourse Ladies Handicap Hurdle.
5: Swelltime: Looked as good as ever when winning at Kilbeggan in July and he enjoys running here. A win in August was followed up by a creditable 2nd in a handicap 2 weeks ago. He switches from the flat back to hurdles here and is capable of making a winning return to this sphere.
Gowran Park 3.55: Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes (Group 3)
11: Galleria Borghese: A useful filly who took a big step forward when an excellent 3rd behind Above The Curve in the Group 2 Blandford Stakes at The Curragh just 6 days ago. A repeat of that performance may be enough here back down in class and she has to be taken seriously.
