An excellent Wednesday at Navan saw both my picks win, in the 3.25 Heavenly Power sat 6th two out travelling well to dispute the lead soon after. The 9/2 shot hit the front inside the final furlong staying on well to beat Verhoyen by 1 3/4 lengths. The later race saw Fratas sit 2nd at halfway leading from 2 1/2 furlongs out. The 13/2 chance was challenged but regained a narrow lead in the closing stages holding on to beat Perfect Poise by a neck.
There are seven races at Thurles on Thursday with two main events.
2.50: Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden.
13: Cornahilt Soldier: A lightly-raced filly who showed improvement when putting in a career best performance to finish 2nd at Down Royal 10 days ago. She moved into 2nd a furlong out keeping on well without making an impression on the winner. She should enjoy this stiffer test of stamina and can go one better.
4.20: Killinan Handicap.
2: Deakin: A promising horse who has improved with each run this year culminating with a win at Roscommon 31 days ago. He led from 2 out staying on strongly in the final furlong to easily come home by 6 lengths. There is definitely more to come on his handicap return and he can follow up.
