SATURDAY'S MEETINGSMICHAEL KINANE and Pat Smullen are in Kerry today for Killarney's fixture but the Ruby Stakes travels from Tralee's cancelled festival to Dundalk where Mystical Lady and Colm O'Donoghue can come out on top.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly is also declared for the Curragh tomorrow but this Listed contest looks an easier option for Mystical Lady who carries the colours of O'Brien's wife Anne-Marie.

This Naas maiden winner looks to be on the upgrade judged by a fine run in a similar grade at Gowran last time when finishing third to Katiyra and She's Our Mark. Akua'ba is the top-rated runner and she comes back to a mile after a couple of efforts over six furlongs. Award Ceremony is also taking a hike in trip but this mile should be ideal for the Ballydoyle runner.

Michael Kinane goes to the first day of the Killarney weekend principally for Kargali in the conditions race where John Oxx's colt has a first start since breaking his maiden at Tipperary by seven lengths in April.

That was enough for Oxx to start talking about an attempt on the Irish 2,000 Guineas, but the horse has clearly had some problems. His reappearance today will be interesting against decent opposition that includes the Curragh winner Rock Exhibition and Theocritus.

The Oxx, Weld and O'Brien yards are all represented in the 11-furlong maiden and New Zealand looks the answer since the Ballydoyle team should know where they stand with Rayina who was runner-up to Honoria at Wexford.

O'Brien and Séamus Heffernan can also score in the two-year-old maiden with Four Star General who returned to action with a close to Paidrin at Cork last weekend.

Tomorrow's Killarney card features Galway Hurdle winner Indian Pace and the County Hurdle hero Silvar Jaro in the conditions hurdle, but Brave Right is rated to beat both of them.
