Shorter trip to suit Gripping
The daughter of Green Desert may find this six furlongs ideal, after getting run over by Kevin Prendergast’s Talwin over seven at Roscommon last time.
The selection travelled really well through the contest and looked sure to score early in the straight. But she had nothing left once tackled by the winner in the closing stages, going down by five lengths.
Gripping is fancied to beat Seven Gold Rings, a creditable second to another Weld inmate, Hidden Charm, at the Curragh on Sunday.
Weld’s Wilderness Bay has disappointed in three runs this season, but there is no denying her chance in the Fairyhouse Corporate Hospitality Fillies Maiden.
By former brilliant juvenile Fasliyev, Wilderness Bay ran her best race to date when beaten a length and a length and a half into third behind Irish Question and Qassas at Leopardstown nine days ago.
Weld’s Max Almighty, who didn’t stay a mile and five when seventh to Tauranga at Wexford, might be the answer to the Club Fundraising Events Handicap.
John Oxx’s Swiss Cottage, fourth in the competitive handicap won by Requested Pleasure at the Curragh last month, is difficult to oppose in the four-runner TEC Electrical Median Auction Race.
Millers Weir, beaten a head by Homegrown at Tipperary, should run another big race in the Course Signage At Fairyhouse Handicap.
On a very poor programme at Limerick this evening, David Wachman’s Aliceinwonderland can justify likely cramped odds in the opening Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Fillies Maiden.
She ran a cracker when third behind Aidan O’Brien’s Oh How Lovely at the Curragh on Saturday and this represents a drop in class.
