A decent Thursday saw Secret She Keeps win, the 8/15 favourite led and was 4 lengths clear at halfway. She had a reduced lead from 5 out and after a slight mistake she was briefly passed entering the straight. She led again before the last keeping on well on the run-in to beat Hope Des Blins by 4 1/2 lengths. In the days big race Cape Gentleman was 3rd, the 11/10 favourite recovered from a mistake at the 6th to sit 2nd at halfway. He wasn't fluent from 4 out dropping to 3rd before the last. He had no extra on the run-in allowing French Dynamite to win by 3 lengths.
Friday sees a double header rounding off the week with 7 races at Sligo and 8 at Dundalk where there are two highlights.
Sligo 4.10: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle.
4: Riaan: A good horse with plenty of promise who was second at Gowran Park when last seen 20 days ago. He goes up in trip here and has the best form on show so should open his account on only his 4th start.
Dundalk 7.30: Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Pat Smullen Mercury Stakes (Group 3)
6: Manaccan: A smart colt who has three wins from eight runs this year. He didn't need to show any improvement to win a listed race at Ascot on his last outing 20 days ago and providing he takes to the surface on this his polytrack debut he can follow up in a competitive contest.
