An excellent Sunday saw two of my picks win,at Galway Thedevilscoachman wasn't fluent early and after a slight mistake 4 out he recovered to make some headway. He improved further to lead narrowly from 2 out keeping on best inside the final furlong to beat Churchstonewarrior by 1 3/4 lengths. The other victory came at Wexford where Optional Mix led early and was 3 lengths clear at halfway. She made a slight mistake at the last but kept on well on the run-in to beat Handsworth by 1/2 a length. The only one who didn't win was Mica Malpic who was 3rd. The 9/2 shot was at the rear making headway to sit 5th three out. He moved into 3rd in the closing stages but couldn't get near the winner Flash De Touzaine who came home by 8 lengths.
Another busy day on Monday sees 8 races at Galway and 7 at Wexford where there are two highlights.
Galway 12.40: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
3: Boogie Woogie: A promising horse who improved from her debut when second at Leopardstown 16 days ago. She was only a length behind the winner and she looks capable of better. Another bold show is likely and she is hard to look past here.
Wexford 3.15: M.W. Hickey Memorial Chase.
2: Run Wild Fred: A smart chaser who was a creditable second behind stablemate Galvin in a Grade 3 chase at Punchestown on his return 19 days ago. Despite falling in both the English and Irish Grand National's at the back end of last season he is mostly a good jumper and he should make a bold bid here to open his account for the year.
