CUR R2 (9:15am ET)- 6f Irish EBF Fillies & Mares Handicap (3yo+)

Sixteen runners, many with questionable form, treading lightly.

EXBOX- 6,9,12


CUR R3 (9:45am ET)- 1m2½f (1m2f110y) Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1) (4yo+)

#5- Vadeni (3-1) was so impressive last year, nearly running down the great mare Alpinista in the Arc, but he has solid form over good going as well. I think he'll really come on from his seasonal debut where he was fourth behind #1- Bay Bridge (6-5), finding trouble in the run for home. Turns the tables today. Will use #2- Lafayette (20-1) underneath at a price, hoping they are willing to make one late run for a placing.

EX- 5/1,2 


CUR R4 (10:15am ET)- 1m Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies & Mares) (4yo+)

#3- Insinuendo (3-1) keeps top company, likes the course, would probably like a bit of cut in the ground but the turnback to a mile should suit. #4- Jumbly (5-1) is consistent and improving, picks up Ryan Moore for the ride in first start since July, but goes well fresh.

EX- 3,4/2,3,4,7


CUR R5 (10:50am ET)- 1m Irish 1,000 Guineas (Group 1) (Fillies) (3yo)

#8- Tahiyra (1-2) has progressed strongly through three starts, somehow lost to Mawj in the English 1000 Guineas but was 7+ lengths clear of Matilda Picotte in third. Hard to go past even with many O'Brien runners present, will have to be clever from PP1 however.

EX- 8/1,7,9,10


CUR R6 (11:25am ET)- 1m2f Gallinule Stakes (Group 3) (3yo)

Will try some longer prices with likely favorite #1- Drumroll (7-5) from the Ballydoyle bunch, siding against second choice Pivotal Trigger which may prefer softer conditions.

EXBOX- 1,3,5


Good luck if you are playing!

STC R5 (9:45am ET)- 1m2½f (1m2f110y) Prix Corrida (Group 2) (Fillies & Mares) (Turf) (4yo+)

Thinking #2- Nashwa (3-5) could be a bet against on seasonal debut, with #3- India (6-1) a threat from the front after winning a GIII over C&D last month. Sorry Hollie, make me look like a dope.

EX- 3/2,4,5

That was a brilliant ride on Luxembourg getting the jump on Bay Bridge and seeing it through to the winning post. 🙌
