Sunday's only winner at The Curragh was in the Irish 1,000 Guineas where Tahiyra sat 5th at at halfway making progress from 2 out. She challenged soon after leading a furlong from the finish. She kept on well asserting herself in the closing stages beating Meditate by 1 1/2 lengths. The 3.15 saw Jumbly finish 2nd, the 9/2 shot was in midfield making progress from 2 out. She kept on in the final furlong but made no impression on the winner Just Beautiful who came home by 2 1/4 lengths. The other pick Vadeni was fifth in a race won by Luxembourg who beat Bay Bridge by 1/2 a length.
Seven races take place at Ballinrobe on Monday evening where there are two features.
5.30: McHale Mayo Handicap Hurdle.
9: Troubled Times: A promising horse who picked up a career best win in a novice hurdle at Cork when last seen 23 days ago completing a hat-trick in the process. She asserted herself in the closing stages coming home by 4 1/2 lengths, she makes her handicap hurdle debut here and with more to come she can achieve the 4-timer.
6.30: McHale Mayo National Handicap Chase.
3: Life In The Park: A decent individual who picked up 2 wins from 5 runs last season. He was a creditable 3rd at Punchestown 31 days ago with the reopposing Tullybeg in fifth. That was a good performance in a competitive race and with his trainer going well and Rachael Blackmore on board he should be too strong for this field.
