Dwaine Tips History

Has come down in the handicap and Truffles is going to make an impact sooner rather than later. 5th in Navan two weeks ago, Truffles can push on today in Fairyhouse.

7th in Naas three weeks ago, first time running Nursery Handicap today, Highly Approved has a lot of potential, fancy the O'Brien's to land this race.

Ran twice last month in Fairyhouse and Tipperary and looked to have something to work off at Tipperary. 6 furlongs looks suited and with some money for Tide of Time I can see him contend for the places today.

Best run this year came exactly a month ago at Fairyhouse when 3rd, potential is there for Castrogiovanni. Donnacha O'Brien is back on board and the AP horse looks a big price.

Border Prince has blinkers today and the last two runs in Dundalk were 6th and 3rd so slowly but surely this horse is looking capable of getting the win on the all weather.

Second here last time out at Dundalk, Smiling Eliza seems to have a better draw tonight and another race run like the 6th of October and this horse will go very close to getting the victory.

Hasnt finished worse than third at Dundalk in six runs at the track and off a nice weight tonight. Course and distance win on the 22nd of September, likes the venue and track so worth backing Six Silver Lane in tonight's meeting.

Second on debut but that was over 3m and this drop to 2m and a little less carry can see Nina Carberry make serious inroads with Tipp Toe this evening. Worth a good interest in this Punchestown Bumper.

Black Scorpion won three in row over April and May and a record second at Tipperary has to be taken seriously. 3m the better trip for Black Scorpion and RW Barron can give him a good ride today.

7/1 this morning in the paper I have been monitoring this horse all day and Road To Respect has been backed into 11/2. Sean Flanagan gets the ride today after back to back wins at Cheltenham and Fairyhouse. Hasn't been outside top four since moving to Noel Meade. Good chance to win again today.

Eight straight league defeats for Drogheda United, Limerick can put any relegation worries to bed with a big home display here and I fancy a home win at Markets Field Saturday night.

Shamrock Rovers beat Finn Harps and Cork City at home in their last two league games in Tallaght and they have five wins in a row at home to Sligo. The Dublin side are looking to maintain third and Sligo fighting for the lives in the relegation zone. Could be a score draw but fancy Shamrock Rovers to just edge it.

Not much to play for in terms of league position and season end for Bohs so looking at Cork's away record at Dalymount and the fact they can secure the title I am backing Cork to win away.

Looks like a relegation six pointer in Galway Friday night. 33pts and 34pts respectively both sides need to get a result in the fight for the drop and recent matches between them have had BTTS.

Finn Harps have lost three in a row and look to be really struggling in the fight for survival. Derry still have hopes of catching Shamrock Rovers for third and a spot in the Europa League qualifiers. I cant see Derry losing but Harps might grab a point.

Has moved to Gordon Elliott and Nina Carberry on board. 11/2 backed into 11/4 there is a lot of interest for Western Command and you would expect the in form trainer to bring an improvement.

Back to back wins for Davy Russell on Swingbridge, it's three in a row for the fav since moving to Gordon Elliott. Swingbridge looks to be off a nice mark to make it four in a row and Davy Russell to get the hat trick.

3rd, 3rd and 2nd in Listowel and Killarney since August, Queen Khaleesi seems to be knocking on the door in a big way and this Thurles handicap is a good chance for the Queen to win. Quoted at 5/1 there is a little money for the joint favourite and I can see her go off fav.

Steady money for Mullinavat and Davy Russell on board for Henry de Bromhead. Mullinavat won in Tranmore in August and last week.

9/2 in the morning Racing Post, Last Man Standing has been backed into 5/2 second favourite for this maiden hurdle. 4th at Gowran on debut, Last Man Standing can improve and win in Thurles today.
