This appears to be like like a two-horse race the place MADE U BLUSH and PROXIMA CENTAURI might 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 affordable worth, 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 somewhat. I’ll follow Ger Lyons’ GLYNDWR to attain on his third try to guide the opposite two house.
Now a 7f handicap and it’s huge open as most of the runners have profitable kind at this observe. Free Solo from stall 13 appears to be like 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 journey.
It is a difficult little handicap over the mile and Blues Emperor has a 10lb apprentice on board to cut back his prime weight however should still be up in opposition to it. Shigar might be effectively in regardless of profitable final time at Navan. There are 4 three-year-olds entered and the very best of them could also be BUCANEER’S SPIRIT, who appears to be like 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 appears to be like to be getting higher and higher.
A 10f handicap for apprentices the place Areana can provide James Ryan one other winner as there’s an excellent battle for the apprentices’ title. He’s gotten off his boss Tom McCourt’s pair to journey AREANA, which might be vital. He drops again in journey from his final run, which is able to go well with from a stall 12 draw. Maxwell Sensible 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 must get every thing to go his approach although. Colin Keane rides Shayzann for Johnny Murtagh, who has a score of 92 and will probably be in gross sales in a couple of weeks. No Say Ever is an eight-year-old now and continues to be off a workable mark despite the fact that 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 generally is a profitable journey for Billy Lee.
We log off with one other Christmas Celebration Evening handicap over 1m 4f and that is the place we’ll discover my nap of the night time. MISS PALOMA chased Squire Danager (runs 8pm) laborious when second to him final time at this venue and Billy Lee takes over within the saddle. Eastmore has fascinating connections and Seamie Heffernan is booked for Charles Byrnes however might have an extended journey to indicate his greatest.
