The best performance on Friday came at Kilbeggan where Happy D'ex was 2nd. The 7/4 favourite was 3rd at halfway improving to sit 2nd approaching the straight. She made no impression before the last keeping on at one pace allowing Elle Perfecta to win by 3 1/2 lengths. In the big listed race at Cork Ottilien was 11th, Moracana won beating Irish Lullaby by 1/2 a length.
There are two further meetings on Saturday with all 3 main events coming as part of a 7 race card at Navan.
3.30: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Committed Stakes.
3: The Antarctic: A smart horse who picked up 2 wins from 5 runs last year. He was a very good second behind Blackbeard in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket on his last outing back in September and despite being off 7 months he has the edge on form and can make a winning return.
4.05: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Salsabil Stakes.
7: Jackie Oh: A highly promising horse who won on debut at Naas 27 days ago. She led from 1 1/2 furlongs out and despite being strongly pressed in the final 150 yards she held on to win by 1/2 a length. The step up in trip here will definitely suit and this exciting prospect should follow up on her way to bigger things.
4.35: Vintage Crop Stakes.
6: Emily Dickinson: A decent filly who picked up a career best win in the Loughbrown Stakes at The Curragh when last seen in October. She went clear in the final 150 yards easily beating Baron Samedi by 5 1/2 lengths. She is the one to beat and should be too strong for the rest of this field.
There is also racing at Limerick where the highlight is at 4.25 the Rathsallagh Country House Of The Year 2023 Handicap with my pick going to number 16 Durium.
