There was one winner at Dundalk on Friday where Pipsy led early but was 2nd at halfway. The 3/1 shot led for a second time 2 out keeping on well inside the final furlong beating Alabama by 1 1/2 lengths. Over at Downpatrick Kansas City Star was 2nd, the 15/8 favourite led early and despite not being fluent from the 4th he was still in front when impeded by a loose horse before the last. He was challenged and passed on the run-in having no extra allowing NT Field Minnesota to win by 6 1/2 lengths. In the other contest at Dundalk Rising Sign was 10th in a race won by Mountain Bear who beat Battle Cry by 1 3/4 lengths.
A busy Saturday sees 8 races at The Curragh and 7 at Fairyhouse with 3 taking centre stage.
The Curragh 1.45: Staffordstown Stud Stakes (Group 3)
6: Kitty Rose: A promising horse who made it 2 from 2 when stepping up to listed level at Leopardstown a month ago. She made headway to lead 1 1/2 furlongs out keeping on well to come home by 2 1/2 lengths. There is definitely more improvement on the cards and she can complete the hat-trick here on her group debut.
Fairyhouse 3.05: ONEILLS.com Handicap Chase.
5: C'est Quelqu'un: A horse having a good season picking up 2 wins from 4 runs. He didn't need to improve to achieve his latest victory at Downpatrick 22 days ago staying on well to dead heat with Some Dove. He is on the up and can get the hat-trick done here.
The Curragh 3.30: Darley Irish EBF Brigid's Pastures Stakes.
12: Pinafore: A useful filly who got her career best victory at Nottingham 11 days ago. She ran well staying on leading towards the finish eventually winning by 1/2 a length. She is definitely well worth a shot here and can follow up.
