The best performances on Friday both came at Cork, in the 5.15 Mauiewowie was 5th at halfway moving into 3rd 1 1/2 furlongs out. The 5/2 favourite went 2nd inside the final furlong but she made no impression on the winner Fix You who came home by 1 1/2 lengths. In the other listed race All Lies Ahead was also 2nd, the 7/2 favourite travelled well leading narrowly 1 1/2 furlongs out. She was passed close to home by Earls who won by 1/2 a length. Over at Downpatrick Splashing Out was 4th in a race won by Return To Base who beat Theonewedreamof by 1 3/4 lengths.
Two more meetings take place on Saturday with 7 races at Cork and 8 at Naas where 3 stand out.
Cork 2.23: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle.
5: Dame Rapide: A useful winner on the flat who was 4th on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse in April and then finished 6th in a listed race at Punchestown when last seen 11 days ago. Her performance there showed she will be suited by this longer trip and with further improvement expected she is just the pick.
Naas 3.20: Dillon Marshall Property Consultants Handicap.
6: Something Nice: A lightly-raced horse who last won at Cork in April. He was a good second on handicap debut here 12 days ago only losing by 1/2 a length. He goes back down in trip here and with another bold showing likely he gets the vote.
Naas 3.55: Al Shira'aa Racing Irish EBF Blue Wind Stakes (Group 3)
2: Caroline Street: A decent horse who was a below form 6th in the Weld Park Stakes at The Curragh on her last outing back in September. Despite being off 7 months and going significantly up in trip she sets a high standard and has the best chance.
