An excellent Thursday saw both my picks win, at Naas Troubled Times led early but was challenged entering the straight. The 6/4 favourite kept on well from the last beating Chautuaqua by 2 1/2 lengths. Over at Limerick Alpesh Amin made early progress sitting 2nd at the 9th. The 4/11 favourite improved to lead before 2 out where he was challenged, he led narrowly at the last keeping on best under pressure to beat Teesconponentsyess by a neck.
Two more meetings take place on Friday night with 7 races at both Dundalk and Wexford with two features.
Dundalk 5.30: Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden.
4: Lightening Army: A horse having his first run who comes from a decent family. He is a half-brother to 3 race winners including Blue Sky Dreamer and Mostaqqer with his sister being Group 2 victor Revenue. With those connections he will be more than ready and can make this a winning debut.
Wexford 6.10: Arctic Tack Stud Veterans Handicap Chase.
4: Glamorgan Duke: Wasn't seen at his best when pulled up 4 out in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival 17 days ago. That run can be overlooked and he should be judged on his performance in a Grade A at the Dublin Racing Festival back in February where he finished 2nd. He should find it easier in these calmer waters making him a big player who can bounce back.
