An excellent Monday saw both my picks win, at Cork Suprise Package recovered from a poor start to sit 2nd 4 out. The 2/1 shot led narrowly from 2 out going clear on the run-in beating Cash Back by 4 lengths. Over at Naas Vauban tracked the leaders sitting 3rd after 2 furlongs. He made headway entering the straight with the 4/6 favourite leading from 2 out. He had a decent lead in the closing stages and he kept on well to beat Valiant King by 1 1/2 lengths, the win booked his place in the Melbourne Cup at Flemington on November 7th.
There are seven races at Roscommon on Tuesday with two highlights.
6.30: Paul Byron Shoes Handicap Hurdle.
4: Ballyglass Beauty: Picked up his latest win at Sligo in June leading at the last and coming home by 2 lengths. He followed that up with a creditable 3rd on the same course when last seen 30 days ago travelling well and keeping on close to home. He has a good chance going on form and can resume winning ways here.
7.00: J.F. Hanley Groundscare Beginners Chase.
2: Gentleman Joe: A useful horse on the flat who looked just as good when opening his hurdles account at Clonmel in May. He challenged approaching the straight moving into the lead at the last pulling away to win by 2 1/4 lengths. Despite being off since he is the pick here on this his chase debut.
