SHAMROCK LANDS A 3/1 WINNING NAP: SHAMROCK’s NAP and ONLY BET on Friday GOLD PLATINUM was a 3/1 WINNER at Wexford yesterday. That makes it 2 WINNING NAPS FROM 3 this week and a close second.
A big weekend of classic trials in Ireland starting today at Navan.
As I mentioned yesterday, Aidan O’Brien has made an uncharacteristically quiet start to the new season and will no doubt be looking to this weekend to kick start his season.
3:00 Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Salsabil Stakes (Fillies’ Listed) (3yo, Class 1, 1m 2f, 8 runners)
O’Brien saddles three of the eight fillies and jockey bookings and the market suggest Dazzling is the chosen one. All three of her starts last season came at the Curragh – she made a winning debut in September and then was immediately stepped up to Listed class and rounded off the campaign with a third to Flying Jib in the Staffordstown Stud Stakes for which she was sent off the 11/10 favourite. I’m not sure I want to be backing her at short odds today, particularly with the stable form being what it is and I’m also not altogether certain that stable companion Terrific might not come out on top today. So it’s a lay of Dazzling at around 3.5.
3:35 P.W. McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes (Group 3) (3yo, Class 1, 1m 2f, 8 runners)
O’Brien is doubly represented here with the unbeaten Carlo Bugatti and Kingfisher. Carlo Bugatti was a winner on debut at Galway when beating Whitey O’Gwaun by three quarters of a length. However, Whitey O’Gwaun was a well beaten fourth at Tipperary subsequently so the form doesn’t look exceptional. Preference is for Answered who looked smart when beating Onenighidreamed (winner himself next time out) on debut at the Curragh last season.
