12/8/23 The Curragh & Kilbeggan

 In Friday's big race at Tipperary Deepone was 2nd, the 4/5 favourite was 4th at halfway moving into 2nd a furlong out. He kept on at the same pace inside the final furlong making no impression on the winner Warnie who came home by 3/4 of a length. Over at Wexford Percy Warner finished 3rd, the 5/6 favourite was in touch sitting 5th after the 6th. He improved to be 3rd 4 out but had no extra before the last while upfront Riaan comfortably beat Rexem by 7 lengths. 

 There are two more meetings on Saturday with 8 races at Kilbeggan and at The Curragh where the days two highlights take place. 

3.25: Rathasker Stud Phoenix Sprint Stakes (Group 3)

1: Commanche Falls: A smart horse who has 2 wins from 6 runs this year his latest was in the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury 3 weeks ago. He didn't need to be at his best there challenging inside the final furlong and leading towards the finish beating Diligent Harry by a head. Despite a penalty he should continue his excellent season and complete the hat-trick here. 

4.40: Keenland Phoenix Stakes (Group 1)

1: Bucanero Fuerte: A promising individual who picked up his second win of the year when taking the GAIN Railway Stakes over course and distance 41 days ago. He beat the reopposing Unquestionable by a short head and with more progress expected he should have the edge again and follow up.
