A decent Thursday at Thurles saw Darasso win, the 11/10 favourite was 3rd four out challenging before the last. He led on the run-in keeping on well to beat Escaria Ten by 2 lengths. In the 2.32 Foxy Girl finished 2nd, the 100/30 shot was 2nd at halfway disputing the lead 4 out. She led before the next but a couple of mistakes saw her passed two out. She had no extra on the run-in allowing Liberty Dance to win by 4 1/2 lengths.
Eight races at Dundalk on Friday evening round off the week with two highlights.
6.00: William Hill Pick Your Places Handicap.
5: Federal: A promising horse who made a winning handicap debut at The Curragh in August. He stayed on to just win by a neck and definitely has more to offer after only 4 Irish starts. He makes his polytrack debut here and despite a 4lb rise he has leading claims giving him the vote.
7.30: Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.
6: Ceallach: A horse in good recent form who picked up his career best win over course and distance 3 weeks ago. He beat another in this field Dalvey by 1/2 a length staying on well in the closing stages. More improvement is likely and he should take all the beating again and follow up.
