I was very frustrated with Duhr yesterday at Sandown, especially after he seemingly broke from the stalls well. Paddy Bradley looked like he lost concentration for a few seconds directly after the start of the race and as a result Duhr found himself detached out the back after a furlong. In fairness to the horse he kept on well enough and wasn’t beaten a huge distance at the finish and if he can buck his ideas up at the start he has a race in him.

| Fenagh could go well for Eddie Harty. |
Today I like the look of a filly in the 8f handicap at 7.40 at Leopardstown and regular readers might remember me putting her up last season too. Fenagh caught my eye big time on her second start at Chepstow last season over 6f, staying on strongly to be beaten 2L into 4th in a race that has worked out very nicely. The winner has since been beaten 5L in a Group 2 by Laurens and is now rated 95, while the runner up recently won easy off 84 and is now rated 90.
In fact, 7 of the 8 runners in that race apart from the selection have all won or gone close to winning races since and it is still early days for this 3yo daughter of Dabirsim. She has had three runs since, two in handicap company, and she hasn’t fired. However, she was entitled to need her comeback run on her first start for Eddie Harty at Bellewstown last time and it also looked like she wasn’t comfortable on that tricky track.
I think she may well be better suited by the more conventional track at Leopardstown and she has been handed a nice draw in stall 3. Dusty Foley rides and he will be looking to provide Harty with his first flat winner for some time. Harty went close with a 20/1 shot at Leopardstown last week and if Fenagh can rediscover the form of her run at Chepstow I think she could go well for each way players at a huge price.
STEVOS’ SELECTION: 7.40 LEOPARDSTOWN-FENAGH E/W @ 33/1
