An excellent Thursday at Thurles saw both my picks win. Eagle Fang was 4th at halfway making headway to lead from 3 out, the 7/1 shot recovered from a slight mistake keeping on well on the run-in beating Kurasso Blue by 3/4 of a length. In the other race Place De La Nation was in midfield improving to hit the front 2 out, the 1/5 favourite pulled away to beat Divaboriva by 1 1/2 lengths.
A Friday double header sees 7 races at both Fairyhouse and Dundalk with 2 features.
Fairyhouse 12.31: William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series Handicap Hurdle.
5: River Vale: A good horse who picked up a career best win at Thurles 22 days ago. He led for a second time at the 8th and despite being strongly pressed before the last he kept on well on the run-in coming home by a length. He switches from chasing to hurdles here and can follow up.
Dundalk 6.45: Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden.
9: Golden Trigger: A well-bred horse who was 3rd on this course on debut 23 days ago. He was 7th two out improving to take 3rd inside the final furlong. He had the reopposing Evening Blues in front that day but with improvement expected and the step up to a mile in his favour he can reverse those placings here and achieve a first career win.
