An excellent Friday saw all 3 of my picks win. At Fairyhouse Fiery Lucy tracked the leaders sitting 2nd entering the straight, the 11/10 favourite challenged soon after leading from a furlong out beating Lethimfly by 2 1/4 lengths. Over at Cork Clarendon House was prominent moving to the front 1 1/2 out, despite being pressed the 2/1 favourite kept on well comfortably beating Erosandpsyche by 2 3/4 lengths. In the Munster Oaks Sumiha was 6th at halfway making progress from 3 out, the 11/8 favourite led narrowly 1 1/2 from the finish eventually beating Trevaunance by 1 1/4 lengths.
The weekend gets underway with 8 races at Downpatrick on Saturday where there are 2 highlights.
1.05: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle.
3: Long Gone: A good horse who after finishing 3rd at Wexford on debut in April showed improvement when winning at Limerick 16 days ago. She led for a second time 2 out drawing clear in the final furlong easily coming home by 8 1/2 lengths. There is definitely more to come back over hurdles and she can follow up here.
4.00: Remembering Caughoo Opportunity Beginners Chase.
3: Tullyveery Lad: A fair chaser who was a bit below form when fifth in a handicap hurdle at Listowel 2 weeks ago. That was her return after 8 months off and with that under her belt she sets the standard here over these larger obstacles. She can put her chase experience to good use and pick up her 2nd career win.
