Predictions.

How many international winners do YOU think there will be at Monmouth on Friday and Saturday, and who will they be?

(yes, you may include Discreet Kitty as an international runner)

My prediction is two.

Dylan Thomas. He looks very solid in the turf, and it will take a monster performance from one of the others in the field to take him down.

Excellent Art. Although he hasn't been given a great draw, he is very adaptable as far as race tactics are concerned. As a 2yo he ran most of his races from the front, but this year he has shown great form when closing. If he breaks well, expect him to sit handy, but if he misses the kick expect Murtagh to drop him in and come fast and late. He is the best horse in the field, i just hope the draw hasn't got him beaten before the race has started.

or who gets more, Europe or Pletcher??
We'll get 3 over the 2 days I feel. We'll win the Turf, Mile and juvi turf..

Really?

I didn't think we had a hope in that. Prussian would be one of the best bets over the two days in my opinion.

I'm just not sure if Achill Island will be quick enough, and i doubt he will handle firm conditions, nor will Domestic Fund.

Strike The Deal will handle it firm, but i don't think he will stay the trip.

Prussian is still my bet in the race.

the two sadlers wells will be grand with the ground... they could be jarred up after, but they'll run well on it..
