Saturday saw both my picks finish 3rd, at Killarney The Euphrates was 4th early improving to sit 3rd at halfway. The 2/1 shot challenged from 2 out but had no extra soon after keeping on at one pace, upfront Naval Force beat Chantilly by 3 1/4 lengths. In the race at Gowran Park Envoi Allen tracked the leaders sitting 3rd at halfway. The 13/8 favourite made a slight mistake at the 7th and despite recovering he had no extra on the run-in, Easy Game won beating Gentlemansgame by 1 1/2 lengths.
October begins on Sunday with 8 races at Tipperary and 7 at Killarney with 3 taking centre stage.
Tipperary 2.40: Coolmore Sioux Nation Concorde Stakes.
3: Dunum: A smart horse who has 2 wins from 6 runs this year his last coming at Galway in August. He led entering the straight going clear in the final furlong and comfortably winning by 2 lengths. He was a good second in a Premier Handicap at Leopardstown last time and can go one better here.
Killarney 3.00: Tote Guarantee Available On Course & Tote.ie Rated Novice Hurdle.
1: Gortmillish: A horse in decent form who picked up a career best win at Downpatrick on his final outing 80 days ago. He led at the last keeping on well on the run-in to come home by 1 3/4 lengths. There is definitely more to come and he can continue his improvement by completing a hat-trick.
Tipperary 3.50: Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle (Grade 3)
2: Zarak The Brave: A good hurdler who achieved his career best win in the Galway Hurdle 59 days ago. He kept on well to lead for a second time in the final 50 yards beating Jesse Evans by a head. He stands out here and is hard to look past.
