Yesterday's top bet of the day, Tamareen (advised 6/1), drifted in the market before the off (8/1 SP), but ran a blinder. Pulling away from the field with the favourite, our selection only got beat a neck in the end. We got the place money though, to add to the money from Hinton Admiral's solid victory. Lulu's Gift faded badly in the finish at Huntington, and Merkel was pulling so hard in the first 3 furlongs at Dundalk, she was unlikely to find much in the home straight, which she didn't.
