Friday was a decent day for both my picks, at Down Royal Ocean Jewel won. The 11/10 favourite led at halfway and was 2 lengths clear a furlong out. She stayed on well inside the final furlong easily beating Bonny Power by 4 lengths. Over at Kilbeggan Daisy Dufresne finished 3rd. The 17/2 shot was in touch sitting 3rd 4 out. She made no impression on the leaders from 2 out keeping on at one pace, Innisfree Beauty won the race by 1 3/4 lengths.
A very busy Saturday sees 8 races at Navan and 7 at Wexford with two standing out.
Navan 1.55: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery (Premier Handicap)
2: Dontspoilasale: A Lightly-raced horse who continued his race-by-race progression when winning at Naas 33 days ago. He beat Sioux Sweet by 1 3/4 lengths there and despite a weight rise he gets on the shortlist here and is just the pick in a small field.
Wexford 4.30: Kehoe Agri & DIY Enniscorthy Rated Novice Chase.
1: Upping The Anti: A horse with plenty of promise who has two wins from two runs this season. His last victory was a career best at Tipperary 48 days ago where he was unchallenged from 3 out winning by a massive 32 lengths. His other win was by 19 lengths at Kilbeggan in May and he can continue his excellent start over fences here completing a hat-trick on his way to better things.
