Even coming off the turf on to dirt failed to stop yesterday's late USA selection Bodie Island.
Now for today. Looks like another Willie Mullins romp through the card, but in the 13.30 Thurles the fav Raptor could win, except he was coming under pressure last time out when he crumpled at the third last fence. So today's selection is Quietly Fancied 5/1 2nd fav, course winner, who is on top form, and whilst likely to be have been beaten by Bishop's Furze last time out except for falling at the last that horse is better than Raptor.
14.35 Thurles - Carrigeen Lechuga 15/2 3rd fav. The trip is now right for this prolific pointer. If it had a better jockey would definitely be shorter in the betting and my 1st choice of the day, but the opportunity should not be missed.
15.40 Thurles - Perfect Gentleman 15/8 Willie Mullins - unexposed sums it up and could be smashed in price wise.
It's the bus who puts up my selections, but clearly he's in love or working hard. Probably be spitting bl--d when he finds out he missed another which would have paid for his boiler.
