Our only winner on Friday came in the Group 3 at Cork where Shamida was 4th at halfway making headway to lead from 2 out, the 4/1 shot was challenged in the final furlong but held on to beat Mother Nature by 1/2 a length. At Tramore Zanahiyr was 2nd, the 8/15 favourite led early being pressed after a mistake 2 out, he was passed making no impression from the last allowing Saylavee to win by 1 1/4 lengths. The other pick Jumbly was 8th in a race won by Super Sox who beat Dance Night Andday by 1 3/4 lengths.
The weekend begins with 8 races at The Curragh and 7 at Tramore and there are 3 main events.
The Curragh 4.00: Shoda Market Cafe Royal Whip Stakes (Group 3)
1: Continuous: A high-class horse who has been a course winner in his career. He was slightly below form when fifth in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot when last seen 56 days ago but that return can be discounted and he should have enough to take this.
The Curragh 4.35: Comer Group International Irish St Leger Trial Stakes ( Group 3)
2: Absurde: A smart horse who won the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival on his last outing back in March. He stayed on well there and despite being off 155 days last year’s Ebor winner has an excellent chance and should follow up here.
Tramore 5.00: Morris DIY Irish EBF Fillies Maiden.
3: Riviera Queen: A lightly-raced horse who was a decent 2nd at Galway two weeks ago. She travelled well taking 2nd inside the final furlong. She is the pick on form here and can go one better.
