Day two of the Curragh's Irish Guineas meeting, two big races to condsider here and the heavy ground view paid off yesterday so that's what we're sticking with.
Firstly it's the Tattersalls Gold Cup Group 1 affair to look at, some of the very best to ever grace a race course have taken this in the past but this looks a weaker affair with the mud larks looking to land the spoils.
Famous Name gets the vote for me, shown well in Group class on soft and heavy and should see out the trip.
The Curragh
3.05 Famous Name €50 win @ 4.5
The Irish 1000 Guineas next, no real class act here but I'll take a look at a horse who won well for us on the opening day of the season for some place money & Super Sleuth who was 2nd in the English Gunieas for the win.
3.40
Super Sleuth €50 win @ 8.4
Oh Goodness me €25 place @ 5.5
4.45
Alvian €50 win @ 2.66

23rd May
Four winning weekends in a row sees us sitting the better side of four grand in the bin, not a bad result all in all considering an in different Cheltenham and a disasterous Newmarket.
The big race today is the Irish 2000 Guineas, some fantastic horses have lined up here in the past with Rock of Gibralter being the most successfull after.
Winners of this race are to be noted with a £35.78 £1 level stakes profit from 14 winners from 38 runs later in the season with the St James Palace stakes at Ascot the likley target followed by the Sussex Mile at Goodwood.
Sad news is it's been raining all week in Kildare so heavy ground is the surface for todays contest.
The main stat I'm looking for is a Group win as a 2yo and a placing in either the English or French Gunieas last time out. Delegator has all these states but Mastercrafts man goes a little further with a win on heavy ground at the Curragh last season so he get's the vote.
The Curragh 3.45
Mastercraftsman €50 win @ 2.98
Haydock...
Some big sprints here today, again heavy ground so we might find some long priced gems hiding on the card and I think I have one.
3.10...
Look Busy was placed in a group race over this distance on soft ground and is the only horse in the race to have any quality form on testing ground.
Haydock 3.10
Look Busy €50 win @ 7.2
Haydock 3.40
Desert Creek €50 win @ 3.05
Can Win €25 place @ 7.6

16th May....
After bursting through the 3k barrier last week we are looking in great shape to head into June for The Oaks, The Derby & Royal Ascot.
Big card at Newbury this afternoon with two listed races and the Group One Juddmonte Lockinge stakes, winners and places of this race have in the past gone on to Royal Ascot glory, the most famours in 2007 with Ramonti.
Starting with the 2.05
Aston Park Stakes...
A horse that has been profitable for me last season lines up here, The Betchworth Kid, usualy ridden by Hayley Turner but Jamie Spencer takes the mount today. Should act well with the extra cut in the ground, distance no issue and all runners off of level weights.
All the Aces can go close here and with the always the bridesmaid never the bride Geordieland a non runner it's out of these two horses for me.
The Betchworth Kid €50 win @ 4.2
All The Aces €50 win @ 4.7
2.40
Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes
As I said earlier some high class horses have taken this price, 1 mile up the straight course. Group 1 winning form is required here and that would point straight to Paco Boy after his win at the Sandown Mile BUT 15 winners of that race have taken their chance in the Lockinge since 1986 and all have failed to land the spoils.
However, placings in the Sandown mile have thrown up a few winners so I have three selctions to run with. Virtual to win, Dream Eater place and making his seasonal debut Tariq also for a place.
Virtual €50 win @ 9
Dream Eater €25 place @ 5.1
Tariq €25 place @ 8
3.10...
Heritage Handicap
Only two here that fit the ten year stats so thats what I shall go with.
Aqwaal €50 win @ 3.2
Holyrood €25 place @ 2.5

May Bank Holiday Weekend
Bit pushed for time but I've got four days of racing which I went through last night, haven't got time to grab the prices but I'll update on Teusday but I'd advise backing the place selections for the 2000 G's as they are big priced.
€50 win selection, €25 place.
1st May Punchestown...

4.20 Dulgolti Bob place

2nd May...
Punchestown...
1.45 Serpentaria
2.20 Baby Run
2.55 Thaarwaat win
Fist of God ew
3.30 Mystical Breeze
4.05 Essex
Newmarket...
1st big one of the season in the 2000 G's, it's going to be a quick surface at Newmarket tomorrow, main stats are last time out winners and group/listed form.
I don't like Delegator, reason...JAMIE SPENCER, he is not a group 1 jockey & I will never forget his shocking ride on Hawk Wing in 2002. His hold up showing off tactic might work on a Monday night at Wolverhampton in a seller but on the big stage he's not got it.
The 2 place selections were close up in a on the line bundle in last years Dewhurst so will go close and have listed/group for on good to firm at Newmakret.
2000 G's
Evasive win
Ashraam place
Quqba place
2.30 Spanish Moon win
3.45 Cheif Editor win
3rd May...
1000 G's this time and it's all about the girls.
2.35 Barbashia
3.15 Rainbow View, this filly for me is the next Ouija Board.
5.00 Golden Stream
Right, I'm off to Punchestown for two days.
