6/10/24 Killarney & Tipperary

 On a poor Saturday Firebird was 5th. The 8/11 favourite was in midfield making progress to sit 3rd a furlong out, she had no extra in the final 100 yards while upfront Oujda beat Ano Syra by 1/2 a length. Over at Gowran Park Conflated was a non-runner with the race going to Visionarian who beat French Dynamite by 4 lengths. 

 On Sunday we have 7 contests at Killarney but it's 3 on an 8 race card at Tipperary that top the bill.

2.30: Coolmore Sioux Nation Concorde Stakes.

7: Mammas Girl: A useful filly who finished 6th in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown when last seen 22 days ago. She definitely wasn't disgraced there and going back down in class here will suit. She has a tongue strap on again and should pick up her first win in 12 runs.

3.40: Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle (Grade 3)

2: Daddy Long Legs: A smart hurdler who's latest win came at Punchestown in April. He travelled well and made headway from 3 out, he led narrowly soon after going clear before the last easily coming home by 5 lengths. His run at Galway 66 days ago can be overlooked and he can return to winning ways here. 

4.50: O'Dwyer Steel Dundrum Novice Chase (Grade 3)

6: Shecouldbeanything: A promising horse who has 2 wins from 6 runs this season. She has tasted victory over hurdles and has taken to chasing well building on a good start when winning at Listowel 11 days ago. She is a big player here who should follow up.

The highlight at Killarney is the 2.50 where my pick is number 6 Chutzpal.
