Killarney and Leopardstown betting tips: Peter O'Hehir's selections for today's racing

Frankie Dettori attracted a big crowd on his first visit to killarney last night.

But the Italian superstar drew a blank on a card dominated by former champion Colin Keane, who rode a superb treble.

Keane and Dettori fought out the finish to the listed Cairn Rouge, with victory, by just a short-head going to Keane’s mount Viadera over Dettori and Lady Wannabe.

Viadera’s trainer Ger Lyons might now consider running her in the Group 2 Kilboy Estate Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

Lyons and Keane also clicked with debutant Baby Zeus in the opening two-year-old maiden, the Footstepsinthesand gelding getting up on the line to thwart 2/9 hot-pot Arthur’s Kingdom.

And Keane completed a great night by the lakes when scoring on John Murphy’s Sharp Focus in the Grand Hotel Killarney Handicap.

Action continues in Killarney, where Gavin Cromwell should main- tain his winning ways with Peaches And Cream, successful at Downpat- rick on Monday and a whopping 13lb ‘well-in’ for his bid to follow-up in the Dawn Hi & Lo Milk Handicap Hurdle.

Stable-companion Lucky Road, similarly 15lb ahead of the handicap- per for a Sligo win, looks the danger.

The Austin Leahy-trained Wait Here might turn over Cromwell’s hat-trick seeking top-weight Ming Dynasty in the Dawn Milk Run Handicap Hurdle as he meets his rival on 17lb better terms than their meetings at Naas and Kilbeggan.

And, in Leopardstown tonight, Pincheck, a close third to Insignia Of Rock on his seasonal debut in a listed event at the Curragh, looks the solid choice for the Group 3 Meld Stakes.
