Gowran Tonight

6.20 Brazilian Breeze is a back to lay and travelled well last time out and might profit from being held up til later in the race this time.

In the maiden I thought Blue White Fire might the one of the once raced horses to benefit from his debut. He may also benefit from having Smullen on board as Roche set him alight the last day early in the race.

London Plane put up a likeable debut in Limerick which worked out well. While she doesn't have a great draw, neither does the fav. Ballroom surely has enough now after 3 quick runs, Brazilian Breeze didn't look too genuine in the finsih lto and of course Cannon Hill likes to fill 2nd rather than win. The ease in the ground will suit London Plane. The one worry I would have is the trip being a little sharp for her

Anyone have an opinion on Cape Of Good Grace stepping up in trip. On breeding it would be a worry but on visual she looked to be finishing off her race stronger than Wachmans in Cork. I am flabergasted at the difference in price between the 2.

Poor card down there. 3 maidens, a winners of one with a 2/9 shot and 3 low grade handicaps. They will do well to get any sort of crowd with that dross put on there.
A few lays for an interest

Race 2) Secretary Of State 1.79 was the lay

Race 3) Cannon Hill 4.4

Race 4) Golden starlet 6.6

Race 5) Gracchus 6

Race 6) Cool Athlete 6.4 hopefully. Only €800 traded so far.

Race 7) Azores 1.7 or Cape Of Good Grace 4.7 whichever is taken first.

I hope ur right about the last race soapp-last leg of a nice docket.

Swinia, you the man.

Monksfield must be a happy bunny tonight. A double for Dessie McDonagh. A blast from the past. I bet some of the forumites were only a twinkle in their mother's eye when Monksfield was doing all his winning.

swinia great tipping nap and next best     
last fav left me down badly

wd Swinia

Was there when Sea Pidgeon bettered him inda Champion and if memory serves me correctly ridden by DT Hughes..who came home from Cheltenham that year with a broken arm...Francome rode the Pidgeon and was brilliant that day....Liam Browne won one of the early hurdles,,,,and drumlargan won a big gamble...backed Chinrullah...and had a goood few sterling pounds on Andy Turnell on Seventh Son i think twas and came back to win, after being well headed...great days......did tied cottage win the Gold Cup that year only to lose it later.....oops sorry for rambling Soapp...bedtime...almost

A few good winners again lads. Well done.
Never noticed that last winner. The price was an insult given Oliver ran her in the Moyglare.

wd swina....great tipping mate....jay trump...i was there in 78 when monksfield beat sea pigegon ....had my tonsils on esterbys hero........what a pair of warriors they were...

Nice work Swinia,nice tipping,no harm done myself.

workrider,did you see Golden Cygnet's race that year?

cant say i remember tbh punchestown...i was only a young lad at the time ....the following day cheltenham was called off because of snow....the reason i remember the c/hurdle that year was because i had my last couple of quid on sea pidgeon....i thought it was home and hosed till monksfield got back up......the rest is a haze.....

Golden Cygnets Cheltenham victory was the best i ever saw on a racecourse in any code.
What a fantastic thread,some amount of winners tipped up here.Swinia and Sinndar001 excelled with excellent longshots and Punchestown and Soapp also came up with the goods.
For extra reading look up dj876 thread on Midday.

Cheers lads...watched the races on Sky Plus last night, Balladine did well to hang on, entered next Tuesday in Killarney and could still be well handicapped !
