The best on Saturday came at Navan where Light As Air was 3rd. The 11/10 favourite was 4th at halfway staying on well to challenge in the closing stages dropping down to 3rd late on allowing Sunriseontheboyne to beat Dakota Blue by a short head. In the other races Butterfly Wings was 7th with the contest going to Carmers who beat What's Your Game by 3 lengths while at Wexford Cullig failed to finish being pulled up 2 out.
We have 8 races at Naas on Sunday with 2 taking centre stage.
4.03: Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Blackbeard Fillies Sprint Stakes (Group 3)
8: Simply Astounding: A well-bred horse who impressed when winning on debut over course and distance 20 days ago. She led from 2 out travelling well and soon going clear, she stayed on strongly coming home by 1 1/4 lengths. With improvement expected she can take the step up in class in her stride and follow up here.
4.33: Goffs Lacken Stakes (Group 3)
1: Whistlejacket: A smart horse who's 4 career wins so far have included the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket and the Group 1 Prix Morny. He defied a penalty to win a listed race at Navan on his return 22 days ago challenging inside the final furlong leading close to home and winning by 1/2 a length. He is a big player here who can taste victory again.
