A good Saturday at The Curragh saw two of my picks win. In the Sapphire Stakes Believing challenged from 1 1/2 out, the 1/1 favourite led inside the final 200 yards keeping on well and beating Beautiful Diamond by 1 3/4 lengths. In the other Group 2 Tower Of London was at the rear early sitting 6th two out, the 13/8 shot improved into 2nd leading close to home beating Grosvenor Square by 1 1/4 lengths. The Irish Oaks saw Port Fairy finish 13th in a race won by You Got To Me who beat Content by 3/4 of a length.
8 more races take place at The Curragh on Sunday with 3 topping the bill.
2.10: Jebel Ali Racecourse And Stables Anglesey Stakes (Group 3)
10: Babouche: A decent-looking horse who impressed when winning on debut at Cork 37 days ago. She led from 1 1/2 out asserting herself soon after, she stayed on strongly in the final furlong coming home by 5 lengths. This exciting prospect should take the step up in class here in her stride and follow up.
3.15: Romanised Minstrel Stakes (Group 2)
4: Poet Master: A smart horse who continued his progression when winning on return at Newmarket in April leading from a furlong out coming home by a length. His next run in the Spring Trophy at Haydock probably came too soon after so his 5th place finish can be discounted and he is well worth another chance here.
4.20: Al Shira'aa Racing Meadow Court Stakes (Group 3)
4: Jackie Oh: A good filly who had an excellent 2023 culminating with a creditable 3rd in the Group 1 Fillies And Mares Stakes at Ascot in October. Despite being off 9 months she is the stand out on form and should take this on her return.
