Dylan Thomas, Finsceal Beo

[brockguy]

among the top quality card at the Curragh today. Wish I could go.. I was there yesterday for some classy racing. Hoping for more of the same today.. It's been raining on and off all morning here so it will make the ground slower than yesterday (when some of the times were extremely quick!). I think Alexander Tango has a great chance in the 1000 to upset the top 2 in the market. Her form ties in very well with the best colts.. Ive been tempted by Notnowcato as his Sandown race was rated very very highly which makes me have to look at him)

What do you think the ground will be like today? I think Finsceal will struggle with the rain around.

Anymore rain and i think Treat will have a brilliant chance of reversing the form.

I actually can't fancy Alexander Tango at all, i think she has plenty to find on all known form and the rain will definitley not help her, because i'm still not sure if she really sees out a strongly run mile.

Yeah, Im in the process of trying to do my jackpot bet and Im thinking of leaving out Finsceal and Arch Swing for Treat and Alexander Tango. While Alexander may need quicker ground, Im dont think she was quite right at Ascot in the Fillies Mile and will give her another chance.. I like the look of Treat esp with the ground, but I may have to hold off to see how bad or good the ground actually is.. It was very quick yesterday so It shouldnt be worse than good.. Do you give Notnow a chance??

Notnow beats Dylan. great race.. Dylan just couldnt get by him.. Youmzain 3rd a fair bit behind..

Thrilled for Cato! It's about time he got a nice win.

[NoChanceToDance]

Cato held up the Judmonte form of last year. Not quite sure what to make of Dylan's performance..... i mean, he ran well but he is surely better than Notnowcato, isn't he? Or is Cato still improving year on year?

The ground didn't look too soft there today, so you can't really put that up as a strong excuse. Maybe he has to have top of the ground? But if that is the case then we can't call him a superstar anymore, because very good horses should be able to handle all ground conditions.

What did you thin, brockguy?
