Wednesday was a mixed day for my picks at Navan, in the opener Ardad's Great was 2nd. The 1/2 favourite was 4th at halfway improving to challenge 2 out. She disputed the lead soon after but couldn't reach the winner Decorated My Life who came home by a neck. The 3.55 saw Blues Emperor finish 7th, the 7/4 favourite led early but was passed after 4 furlongs sitting 2nd at halfway. He made no impression from a furlong out having no extra in the closing stages. Upfront the surprise 66/1 winner was Bridge Of Dawn who beat Allihies by 1/2 a length.
7 races take place at Thurles on Thursday where two stand out.
2.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase.
9: Secret She Keeps: A promising horse who was second on her fences debut at Fairyhouse 12 days ago. She stuck to her task well only losing by a nose and with improvement expected she is the one to beat and can go one better.
4.20: He'llberemembered Hurdle.
2: Cape Gentleman: A smart chaser who was running well until he fell at the last in a handicap chase at Listowel on his 4th outing of the year 29 days ago. He switches to hurdles here and holds the edge on form so should bounce back and resume winning ways in this sphere.
