This seems to be like a two-horse race the place MADE U BLUSH and PROXIMA CENTAURI could possibly be contenders. The latter may enhance as she will get deeper into her two-year-old profession and a 50-day break ought to assist her. Made U Blush was a late market mover at Cork on debut however had an interrupted passage earlier than staying on strongly to be fourth. The third gained final week, so if she’s an inexpensive value, I’ll play her each-way. I’ll give the nod to Proxima Centauri on her pedigree. It may even be a reverse forecast play.
A 7f maiden the place I Am Me ought to deal with the Polytrack however hasn’t raced in six months after a debut second to Girl O at Roscommon. Elusive Duke has first rate kind however an unorthodox motion and that deters me just a little. I’ll keep on with Ger Lyons’ GLYNDWR to attain on his third try to steer the opposite two dwelling.
Now a 7f handicap and it’s broad open as lots of the runners have profitable kind at this observe. Free Solo from stall 13 seems to be the tempo angle the place Purpose Exceeded may progress because the John O’Donoghue yard will get again to kind with three winners just lately. Eddie G has gained right here earlier than whereas Mehman might have it to do from stall 15, particularly stepping as much as 7f. The one which I’ll take an opportunity on is PUNK POET, who’s a five-time winner at Dundalk. He’s 5lb decrease off a mark of 78 than his final profitable begin and has run higher than his earlier two runs counsel. He often is the reply and Colin Keane takes the trip.
This can be a tough little handicap over the mile and Blues Emperor has a 10lb apprentice on board to scale back his prime weight however should be up towards it. Shigar could possibly be effectively in regardless of profitable final time at Navan. There are 4 three-year-olds entered and the most effective of them could also be BUCANEER’S SPIRIT, who seems to be open to loads of progress and was spectacular final time at Navan when well-backed. He was claimed by connections when second right here at 50/1 in July and he seems to be to be getting higher and higher.
A 10f handicap for apprentices the place Areana can provide James Ryan one other winner as there’s a superb battle for the apprentices’ title. He’s gotten off his boss Tom McCourt’s pair to trip AREANA, which could possibly be vital. He drops again in journey from his final run, which is able to go well with from a stall 12 draw. Maxwell Good is revered.
A 1m 4f handicap with simply the seven declared regardless of a €13,500 pot. The 7lb claimer Jack Cleary will get again on board after profitable a maiden on him two begins in the past. He’ll have to get every little thing to go his approach although. Colin Keane rides Shayzann for Johnny Murtagh, who has a ranking of 92 and shall be in gross sales in a number of weeks. No Say Ever is an eight-year-old now and continues to be off a workable mark although his scope for enchancment is proscribed at this age now.
SQUIRE DANAGHER is on a roll and has three wins at this observe. Coach Andy Oliver is in good kind and with the headgear on over this 1m 4f journey, Squire Danagher could be a profitable trip for Billy Lee.
We log off with one other Christmas Celebration Night time handicap over 1m 4f and that is the place we’ll discover my nap of the evening. MISS PALOMA chased Squire Danager (runs 8pm) exhausting when second to him final time at this venue and Billy Lee takes over within the saddle. Eastmore has attention-grabbing connections and Seamie Heffernan is booked for Charles Byrnes however may have an extended journey to point out his finest.
