On Friday at Dundalk both my picks finished 3rd, in the 5.45 Martinstown was slowly away improving to go 4th a furlong out. The 11/8 favourite moved into 3rd inside the final furlong without threatening Slieve Binnian who beat Londoner by 1 1/4 lengths. In the other race Many Tears tracked the leaders sitting 5th two out. The 3/1 joint favourite kept on in 3rd close to home while upfront Vadiana beat Pink Sorrel by 1/2 a length.
All eyes will be on British Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday but there is a Irish double header with 8 races at Leopardstown and 7 at Limerick with 3 features.
Leopardstown 3.01: Killavullan Stakes (Group 3)
1: Atlantic Coast: A promising horse who after winning on debut at The Curragh in August ran well when 3rd behind Diego Velazquez in the Group 2 Juvenile Stakes here 6 weeks ago. That performance should stand him in good sted and with more to come he can resume winning ways.
Limerick 3.15: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cailin Alainn Mares Hurdle.
1: Popova: A useful hurdler who picked up her career best win at Listowel when last seen 34 days ago beating the reopposing Space Tourist by a short head. She enjoyed going up in trip there so going further here will suit and she can follow up.
Leopardstown 3.36: Eyrefield Stakes (Group 3)
3: Grosvenor Square: Made a winning debut at Galway and built on that when an encouraging 3rd in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at The Curragh a month ago. The step up in trip here is a plus and with more improvement expected he can win again.
