A good Saturday saw two of my picks win. In the group 3 Jan Brueghel sat 2nd strongly pressing the leader from a furlong out, he disputed the lead soon after moving to the front close to home beating Trustyourinstinct by a neck. In the days group 1 Bluestocking was 4th two out making headway 1 1/2 from the finish, she challenged leading in the closing stages beating Emily Upjohn by 1/2 a length. In the other race California Dreamer was 2nd, the 8/1 shot led at halfway being passed inside the final furlong by Truly Enchanting who won by 1/2 a length.
There are 9 more races at The Curragh on Sunday with 2 main events.
1.40: GAIN Railway Stakes (Group 2)
7: Tunbridge Wells: A good prospect who confirmed the promise shown on debut when winning over course and distance 25 days ago. He was 2nd early leading from 1 1/2 furlongs out, he stayed on strongly comfortably coming home by 2 3/4 lengths. That impressive victory makes him the one to beat here.
4.05: Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (Group 1)
1: Ambiente Friendly: A horse in excellent recent form who after winning the Derby Trial at Lingfield by 4 1/2 lengths only found the superstar City Of Troy too good in the big race at Epsom a month ago. He should take all the beating here and return to winning ways.
