Thursday's best performance came at The Curragh where American Sonja won, the 10/11 favourite was 4th two out improving to lead 1 1/2 furlongs from the finish. She stayed on well in the final furlong to beat McCauley's Tavern by 3 1/2 lengths. In the race at Tramore Bellatior was 5th, the 9/2 chance was in touch sitting 4th at the 6th. She made no impression from 2 out and had no extra. The race was won by Kilbunny Pontic who came home by 2 1/4 lengths.
The week comes to a close with 8 races at Dundalk on Friday with two stand out contests.
6.00: William Hill Extra Places Every Day Handicap.
2: Longbourn: Arrives in good form after finishing second on this course when last seen a month ago. He is on a handy looking mark here and is a big player back in handicap company. He can go one better and open his account for the year.
8.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
3: Sistine Madonna: Was a winner at Gowran Park in July and followed that up with a very good second on her last outing at Cork 63 days ago. She is expected to continue here progress here and can win again to enhance her excellent profile.
