The good start to the week continued at Cork on Tuesday, in the opener Mount Ruapenu won. The 13/8 favourite made all the running and had a 2 length lead from a furlong out. He kept on well inside the final furlong beating Maggie Mcgrath by 3/4 of a length. In the big listed race Georgeville was 3rd. The 6/1 shot was at the rear sitting 10th at halfway. He made some progress from 2 out keeping on and moving into 3rd inside the final furlong without threatening the main runners, Statement beat Monaasib by a neck.
The midweek meeting takes place at Bellewstown where there are two highlights.
2.00: Savills Claiming Maiden.
4: Sweeping Statement: A fair horse who is still winless after 9 flat runs. He was 9th at Dundalk when last seen just 5 days ago but he goes down in trip here and with Cheekpieces on for the 1st time he has leading claims. Anything close to his recent form should be enough now he is dropping down to a claimer.
3.45: Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden.
2: Polar Bear: A useful colt who was a creditable 4th at Naas just under 2 weeks ago. He has shown enough in recent runs to believe that a race of this nature can go his way and retaining a visor definitely helps. He has sound claims and can pick up his first career win here.
