Currently described as yielding to soft but the Dublin area has seen a fair bit of rain today and is expecting more overnight so no surprise if this were to verge on heavy going.
Plenty coming in to this in good form, it makes it a pretty good race for a Monday afternoon. Jessie Harrington runs 3 in the contest and I’ve picked Village Voice. Might seem obvious given Shane Foley takes the ride (Messrs Whelan & Keane on the other two) but they all have a fair shout.
Village Voice will thrive in the conditions (it better bloody rain some) and comes here off the back of a runner up spot to Jackie Oh at Gowran Park. It was a comfortable victory for the AOB inmate but she proved she was a level above when a fairly unlucky runner up in the Blandford next time. This is an easier race for VV, albeit she will be better suited to 10 furlongs based on known form.Village Voice 7/2
Lady Lunette looks a decent ew price at 33-1. She’ll do, but I did also fancy Empress Of Beauty
Having given all on the arc thread a heart flutter…,
This race has been switched to fairyhouse 3:10.Interestingly Shane foley was disappointed not to ride her for her last win, about which Jessica H said
“She has been very brave down the inside. I’m just watching the head on and she has been very brave to go through the gap. She has done it really really nicely. I’d imagine we will go Ribblesdale now, we were just touched off in it last year with Magical Lagoon. Our other horse, Foniska has run a cracker, but she boiled over a little bit beforehand and will come on a tonne from it. She wants a bit better ground. Shane is trying to take it well! He knew it was going to be a tough call but his filly has lost little in defeat. She just got tired close home. It was a tough choice for him – this filly, Village Voice, does absolutely nothing at home. It has been a good day and a great tonic for mum. I think it is the quote of the year – I rang her coming in here and she said ‘why are you ringing me? They are about to go into the stalls!’ I told her the race had finished and she obviously pressed pause and didn’t fast forward it again! I told her Village Voice won and Foniska was third and she said ‘oh, brilliant!’. Mrs John Harrington, trainer.
