5/5/23 Cork & Downpatrick

 Thursday's winner at Tipperary was Maxxum, the 1/1 favourite was always prominent despite some jumping mistakes. He led from 2 out asserting himself at the last keeping on well on the run-in beating Walk Away by 3 lengths. In the other race Know The Game was 4th, the 5/1 shot was 2nd at halfway disputing the lead from 3 out. He was passed after a slight mistake 2 out and had no extra before the last keeping on at one pace, upfront Good As Hell beat Politicise by a nose.

 A Friday double header sees 7 races at both Cork and Downpatrick with 3 features. 

Cork 5.15: Goffs Irish EBF Polonia Stakes.

11: Mauiewowie: A promising horse who won a listed race at The Curragh when last seen back in August beating another in this field Treasure Trove by a short head. Despite being off 8 months she should improve further and take this on her return. 

Cork 6.25: Mallow Handicap. 

12: All Lies Ahead: A horse in good form who won at Leopardstown on reappearance in April just coming home by a neck. She showed further improvement when second at Gowran Park 16 days ago only finding the progressive American Sonja too good. With plenty more to come she is the pick to return to winning ways here. 

Downpatrick 6.50: Randox Mares Handicap Hurdle. 

2: Splashing Out: A decent horse who was a below form 10th at Fairyhouse 25 days ago. She wasn't seen in the best light there so having cheekpieces on for the 1st time here should help. She is definitely open to improvement and can get back on track.
