Thurles Fancies

What a race the Kinloch Brae is - Has the loook of a Grade 1 - I'd say she'll be fav but I'll be sticking with J'y Vole. Everything should be ideal for her here and it was interesting to hear Willie say yesterday that he thinks there is a big Grade 1 in her - perhaps over 2m - and the only reason he didn't put her in the Tied Cottage on Sunday was because he heard Sizing Europe was running (He must think SE will win so).
Great mares race too and I think Blazing Tempo will continue her winning streak here - Hopefully they'll back For Bill, which they more than likely will, and we'll get a decent price about BT. And good to see Whyso Mayo back in the hunters chase, altho age might be catching up on him now.
NAP - Blazing Tempo
NB - J'y Vole

A card to saviour ahead of Friday's Thyestes meeting

3.20 - Think JY Vole is the most likely winner but 9/4 is no real value, and nothing else appeals at the prices.

3.50 - Cracking race, hard to split the top trio. Cool Quest looks big at 16s, as does Gentle Alice at 14s. Gentle Alice sluiced in lto in a Mares Chase beating some of the same rivals as the top three, but further. Her 2nd last start also reads very well, she was in there going to 2 out before a bad mistake put paid to her race, the winner Western Charmer followed up with 3rd in a G1 and 2nd in a G2 since. The 5th, 6th & 7th have all win since, the 7th Drive On Jim has won 3 times. It is a very tough race so a small w+p & back to lay.

3.20 - Glencove Marina (Thought he ran a blinder in the Lexus and just seemed to get tired on the run in. Likes it around here and the step back in trip is a positive in my opinion and in relation to the 2 ahead of him in the market i think he is cracking value)

3.50 - Gentle Alice (Have to agree with down, she looks way too big. Blazing Tempo looks too short to me, still not convinced with For Bill at all this season, never been a fan of Morning Supreme and what has she done to warrant being so short? Gentle Alice was very impressive last time slamming Shirley Casper who i thought would of gone close to winning at Leopardstown on MCR day had Paddy Flood given her any sort of decent ride)

^7s now*

If he runs as well as he did in the Lexus he wins in my opinion and he loves it around here

I thought Grancore Girl was overpriced in that 2.10, if you ignore her last run the time before she ran a fine race on ground that is likely to be like today's behind Sizing Mexico and Gran Torino. With Hayes taking off (7) i think she is reasonable well treated

DAS EW SQUEAK AN YOU NO WHO IS QUIET WHICH IS strange AS HE GOT OPINION ABOUT EVERYTHING

Mite just go with a Back 2 Lay on him NORN, agreed he is quiet

Agree with Newmanix ...Concrete and Clay should be good each way bet at 5 s in the handicap hurdle .. Course and distance winner on his only previous run around Thurles ... Drop back to two miles should help aswell having travelled well over 2 m 2 f at Leopardstown the last day ... Usually try to avoid ones that run up a streak of placed finishes but in fairness he is probably genuine as he has won 4 times in his career ....

Any chance they could make more use of Grancore Girl next time? She looks to be a dour stayer who gets outpaced when the pace quickens and then stays on strongly at the end, also she jumps rather slowly so holding her up in the middle of the pack ain't gonna suit.
Anyway at least she placed

i could of done the weight on her

SF  I HEARD U FELL OF A ROCKING HORSE GLAD SEE MARLAY PARK WIN WELL AS  DEFF DESERVED AN CAN WIN AGAIN AFTR FINE RIDE FROM DANNY MULLINS

How well did Concreate win? had to go out for a moment


wd backers [;)]

come on jy vole for the double!!!!!!

if psyco wins here ill give up racing

maybe could of picked it ahead of 2 but thats it

FTP's jumping had gone to pieces. Used to be a v slick jumper. Cool ride by Mangan and got him jumping a lot better. Still a shock. I thought he had a big chance lto in a handicap.

FTP does have ability, he cruised into the Gold Cup at punch last and didn't seem to get home. He's after beating a few Ryanair  outsiders there so maybe he's now an outsider for that race.
