4.35 Sligo STARTEDWITHAKISS ~ 6/1

About joint fourth in the probable betting,, the other four (no's 4, 3, 6, 11) aint screaming out to be backed imo,, Apart from her barrier trial (which she won) over 7f at Dundalk, she's never raced on anything better than yielding to soft,, Just the three regulation runs for this 4yr old of Joey O'Brien's; she came 4th at Gowran over 10f lto on yld to soft, after almost 1 1/2yrs off the track,, by Fastnet Rock, so am assuming 10f on good ground will be fine,,, 6/1 looks a fair enough price here,,, has Galileo on the Dam side so stamina shouldn't be an issue, and has come 2nd - granted the going was heavy - at headquarters over a mile, on her second run when fancied, so the trip should not be too sharp either

Viareggio ~ 10/1 and Atavique 16/1 are others worth considering here,, Miss Myers is a CD winner at a big price here, but probably wants a bit more cut in ground. Jim Bolger's Nectarine is of nominal interest, being as she's coming off an absence, and though she run well and won easy over a mile 2 runs back, staying is also a question mark here,,

if the going and prices are similar closer to racetime, i'll have a lil ew on Startedwithakiss, Viareggio and Atavique ,, those drawn low were to the fore last year, with the winner coming from box 1, and only Atavique, out of the three selections, looks reasonably drawn in four..

it's a tricky weekend's racing when I'm looking at an Irish meet for winners.......

3.40 Newmarket 1000 Guineas

too hard these races - Classics/Group races,, all the form seems reasonably similar, and most of these have 1s and 2s to their name,, give me a low grade handicap any day before a group race 😂

but for the day that's in it, and that there....

anyroad, using me own kinda logic i have picked 2 ew at decent prices,, both have won over seven furlongs at the course,,, one is drawn low and t'other high,,

AMEYNAH (drawn 12) ~ 18/1

won easy at the course lto over 7,, was only a maiden, but she never seemed under pressure - good enough for me. A better race over further is a different kettle, but I think she'll take a lead off Prosperous Voyage (drawn 9) , who looks favourite to me to make the runnin on that side, as she has done in her last two races, which were both over a mile

CACHET (drawn 3) ~ 20/1

Has plenty of runs for a classic contender, and most are only average relative to the quality of race this is,, it's her latest run over 7f at the course that is noteworthy i feel,, She tracked the leader and won easy in the Nell Gwyn, which is far from a Micky Mouse race,,, Mick Channon's ~ 200/1 rag Flash Betty (drawn 1) looks odds on to make running on her side in this, so hoping Cachet will follow her,,, Cachet did lose when coming 3rd over CD 3 runs ago, but: A that was a proper race, and: B she tried to make all that day from her side..

Buick had the ride on Cachet before, but reading nowt into his being not on her today, because : 1 he's likely obliged to ride the Godolphin horses, and 2: he had a 'mare yesterday when riding the wrong horse, as i presume he had the choice over the Doyler,, maybe not, i don't tek much notice of that kind o thing,,,

Prosperous Voyage who finished in front of Cachet in that October C&D run, when coming 2nd, also goes to post,, Rafe Beckett's filly tried to make all from her side and came up short,, she's had two goes over a mile in England tho, and it looks as if she'll be there to be shot at,,

don't know or care if either of the two picks are neither good enough, nor capable of staying a mile in a group one, but i'm happy with me logic and their prices...

the two in 1.30 Hamilton are fair short,,, 4.56 Hamilton SINGE ANGLAIS 13/2 NAP

GL 😊

😁

My logic was Kingman - that sire I associate with a mile,, was right that time anyway Hello 2D 🙂

the two in 1.30 Hamilton are fair short,,, 4.56 Hamilton SINGE ANGLAIS 13/2 NAP

ground's gone against Singe Anglais , drifted out to 9/1,,, had a right good chance on good-gd to firm, but at good to soft-gd in places, i'm barely hopeful 😃

Loughnane never complains about the prices of his horses at places like Wolverhampton 😂 "She shouldn't be the price she is" 😃

Got that one wrong - wins that race 😴

cheers Pottokblue ta- happy with that 😃
