8/5/23 Roscommon

 The best performance on an important Sunday at Leopardstown came in the Derby Trial where Up And Under was 2nd, the 11/4 shot was 7th at halfway making progress from 2 out. He kept on well moving into 2nd inside the final furlong without threatening the winner Sprewell who came home by 3 lengths. In the days other Group three's both American Sonja and New Energy finished 4th.

 We begin another week with 7 races at Roscommon on Monday where there are 2 main events. 

4.30: Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden. 

6: Thia: A horse who showed plenty of promise when 3rd at The Curragh on only his second career run 22 days ago. He goes up in trip here for a trainer going well with his experience a plus, improvement is likely which just gives him the nod. 

6.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Race.

1: Pivotal Trigger: A useful individual who last won at Galway back in July last year while his final start of 2022 over at Longchamp can be overlooked. Despite being off 7 months and going significantly up in trip he has the best form on show here and can make a winning return.
