IN TIME`S EYE SET FOR FAIRYHOUSE VICTORY

Fairyhouse stage their seventh all-flat meeting of the season this Friday afternoon with a seven-race card beginning at 3.00pm.

Pat Smullen is trailing joint leaders John Murtagh and Michael Kinane in the title race but the Offaly rider looks to have found the ideal opportunity of pegging one back aboard In Times Eye in the fairyhouseracecourse.ie maiden.

The Singspiel colt has not run since finishing 7th (btn 9 1/2L) to High Chaparral in the Budweiser Irish Derby but if running anywhere near his 108 rating looks a penalty kick.

Fortune, who got up close home to score over 6f here on Saturday, gets a confident vote to follow up despite the burden of a 5lb penalty in the 65-97 handicap over 7f.

On that occasion the John Oxx-trained filly didn`t enjoy the clearest of runs but once a gap appeared close home she quickened up nicely for John Murtagh to score narrowly.

The opening Palmerstown Nursery over six furlongs is sure to be a lively betting heat and light-weight DanceFontaine, trained by Timmy Doyle, might represent decent each-way value off a current mark of 70.
