Winning Form bring you all of their best bets and tips for Friday’s racing coming your way from Ireland’s Curragh and Tipperary.
Curragh
Race 3 No2 BEARBERRY
Trainer: J. Harrington – Jockey: S. Foley
This daughter of Kodiac made a promising start to her career
when only beaten by just under two lengths at Leapordstown. She will surely
come on from the experience and Foley may be able to coax that little bit extra
out of this filly that has plenty of scope for improvement.

Race 6 No13 AT WAR
Trainer: T. Cooper – Jockey: C. Hayes
This son of War Command has placed in his last three starts
and he was only beaten a neck by Bella Brazil in his return to the races at
Gowran Park. He will strip much fitter for this contest and should be right
there at the business end of affairs.

Race 7 No12 ST CLERANS
Trainer: J. Harrington – Jockey: S. Foley
This three-year-old filly finished mid-pack in her comeback
effort on this track but riding arrangements would suggest that she is the
stable elect from the Miss J. Harrington camp. She arguably needed that last
run and with a light galloping weight to shoulder, she can go close in this
contest.

Race 8 No9 TONKINESE
Trainer: J. O’Brien – Jockey: DB. McMonagal
This O’Brien trained inmate was only beaten just under two
lengths last time out by Romantically and he looks fairly-handicapped in this
Apprentice Derby contest. He did place under apprentice McMonagal in February
and if repeating that type of effort then he will go close in the lucky last
race.

Tipperary
Race 3 No13 KNOCK ON STEEL
Trainer: B. Jordan – Jockey: SF. O’Keefe
This seven-year-old gelding was consistent in his form prior
to the nine-month layoff and if returning fresh then he will take a power of
beating in this moderate handicap. He went very close under this rider in
August of last year, which is encouraging.

Race 4 No14 SKYACE
Trainer: JJ. Hanlon – Jockey: J. McGarvey
This five-year-old mare has placed in all three starts to
date. She doesn’t meet the strongest of competition this afternoon and if
taking to the hurdles at this track then she will be difficult to peg back in
the closing stages of this contest.

Race 7 No7 GOAHEADWITHTHEPLAN

This son of Stowaway is improving with each and every run
under the belt. He placed third last time out at Punchestown and if repeating
that type of effort then he will go close in the lucky last race.
