10/5/25 Cork & Naas

 Friday's winner came at Downpatrick where Queenofthelodge tracked the leaders early moving to the front from 2 out. The 4/1 shot was strongly pressed inside the final furlong but kept on well to beat Billie Frechette by 3/4 of a length. Over at Ballinrobe All Told was 13th in a race won by Flying Fortress who beat Wertpol by 1/2 a length. 

 On a busy Saturday there are 8 races at both Cork and Naas with 2 features. 

Cork 2.50: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle. 

8: Emily Love: A horse with a decent record who was an excellent 2nd on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse 20 days ago. She made progress from 3 out but made no impression after the last taking 2nd in the closing stages. She goes back up in trip here and should go one better. 

Naas 4.20: Darley Irish EBF Naas Oaks Trial Stakes. 

4: Island Hopping: A promising horse who finished a creditable 3rd in the Group 3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan when last seen 2 weeks ago. She tracked the leaders early sitting 3rd at halfway keeping on at one pace. With that under her belt she can pick up a 2nd career win here.
