Friday was another poor day for both my picks, at Listowel Glan failed to finish. The 11/2 shot was 8th at halfway making no impression entering the straight. She was pulled up before 2 out leaving Magnor Glory to win the race by 3 lengths. In the race at Dundalk State Occasion finished 4th. The 10/11 favourite was slowly away sitting in midfield 3 out. She made headway soon after staying on at the finish,upfront Bear Story beat Feeescape by a neck.
A busy weekend begins on Saturday with 8 races at both The Curragh and Listowel where 3 stand out.
The Curragh 1.35: Alan Smurfit Memorial Beresford Stakes (Group 2)
2: Continuous: Looked impressive when winning a maiden on this course on debut 35 days ago. He kept on well coming home by 1 1/2 lengths, his trainer Aidan O’Brien has a good record in this race in recent years and this colt should find the improvement needed to keep that going.
The Curragh 3.20: Goffs Million
5: Hellsing: Has made an excellent start to his career winning here on debut before going on to be second in a Group 3 at Leopardstown. He took a listed race at Tipperary when last seen in early August and with more to come Europe’s richest 2-y-o race can stay in Ireland.
Listowel 4.18: Charlie Chute Memorial Handicap Chase.
3: Bythesametoken: Made a good start over fences earlier this year culminating in a win at Down Royal in January. His first start in 6 months was needed when he was 4th at Ballinrobe 33 days ago in what was a stiff test. He will be sharper now and he is worth a chance on this his handicap chase debut.
