After such a bad Saturday Sunday was a good day for both my picks at Listowel, in the 2.40 Nikini won. The 5/6 favourite led before the 2nd and despite being briefly passed she was 2 lengths clear from 2 out. She kept on well on the run-in beating Hollymount by 1 1/4 lengths. The 4.40 saw Kemboy finish 2nd. The 5/2 shot recovered from a mistake at the 3rd to sit 2nd at halfway. He made no impression from 2 out and after a slight mistake at the last he had no extra, the only other finisher Easy Game won by 11 lengths.
There are seven races at Listowel and eight at Fairyhouse on Monday with two main events.
Listowel 3.35: Liam Healy Memorial Lartigue Hurdle.
8: Ebasari: Returned to form after a poor Cheltenham Festival with an easy 6 1/2 length win at Downpatrick in July. He was then a good 4th at Galway when last seen 52 days ago and he gets the nod here in what should be a competitive handicap.
Fairyhouse 5.50: Ballyhane Blenheim Stakes.
5: Coralillo: A course and distance winner on debut who was a close third behind Treasure Trove in the Round Tower Stakes at The Curragh 23 days ago. That useful performance gives her good claims here and if in the same form she sets a good standard making her difficult to beat.
