An excellent Friday saw both of my picks win. At Down Royal Lightning Bear was 3rd at halfway improving to challenge 2 out, he led soon after keeping on well in the final 150 yards beating Oxford Rock by 1 3/4 lengths. Over at Kilbeggan Presenting Lad was at the rear early making headway into 5th 2 out, the 7/1 shot led at the last and despite being strongly pressed close to home he held on to beat The Dasher Conway by a head.
Navan stages Saturday's action where on a 7 race card 2 top the bill.
2.15: Irish EBF Auction Series Fillies Maiden.
6: Agouti Bear: A promising horse who was a decent second on debut at The Curragh 3 weeks ago. She disputed the lead early but was passed 2 out, she made no impression soon after but kept on in the final furlong. She showed there was plenty to work with and with improvement expected she looks like the one to beat here.
2.50: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Rated Race.
1: Snapdragon: A useful colt who finished a very creditable 2nd on this course when last seen 9 days ago. He led but was strongly pressed from a furlong out being passed near the line going down by a head. The quick turnaround shouldn't be a problem and after coming close in his last 3 starts he can go one better here.
