Race 1) Remember Alexander.(Treble) Well backed in the morning this one was a drifter on track on her debut here. A lot of people weren't happy with Fran's ride as she was nearest at the finish to the well backed Power. It seems the Owner's were of a similar mind.

Race 2) Power. (NB) Hopefully Rememember Alexander will uphold the form in the first race. He had the race won at the 5 pole so this trip should hold no fears for him.

Race 3) Sing Softly. (Nap) A poor collection of older horses points the way for O'Brien's filly to collect. Classic aspirations have been put aside in favour of this.

Race 4) Dubawi Gold. A reproduction of his run against Frankel in the newmarket guineas will see this one come home alone.

Race 5) Aoife Alainn. Tracey Collins was on ATR with Enzo this morning. She was very grateful for getting this Group 1 Italian filly who has the Pretty Polly as her Group 1 target. The opposition are Group 2 at best.

Race 6) Rock And Roll Kid. A very nice introduction at Naas last month, and a reproduction of that run run should see go close.

Race 7)No selection. I will be in some Kildare hostelry with my Leinster colours cheering on Drico and the boys!

remember alexander(b f Teofilo (IRE) | Nausicaa (USA) )ran very eyecatchingly first time up having been slowly away,she was tenderly ridden after by fran berry.Soapp I think the owners like a punt they're the o'callaghans of the davenport hotel group   i think(had alexander banquet,davenport millenium etc),johnny murtagh takes over tomorrow-really liked her debut run,but i'd say she will be very short.

thanks for putting those selections up soapp ...at least now i know were the money is going tomorrow...Laugh
seriously though from what herself has just told me its going to be a miserable weekend weather wise ...i'm heading to the curragh tomorrow and then playing palmerstown stud golf club on sunday morning...from what i hear of it i'll need  to bring a few extra golf balls ....still hopefully the pockets will be bulging after collecting on hitchens in the sprint ...sorely tempted to lay dubawi gold at the 3.2.on here i have to disagree with you on this lad...still its all about opinions , good luck tomorrow...

I'm in Cardiff for d weekend so that's why I didn't tip up Sallyanka. Backed it last time and tonight. I reckon Dunboyne Express will win d big race tomorrow. Dubawi has no chance. Never put into d race d last day. I can't see him finishing in d first three.

2.10 - Remember Alexander is short enough but its first run screamed winner waiting to happen. more than likely will be group class by the end of the season. Still very short but it will take a good one to beat if she has learned from her first run.

2.40 - Power beat the selection in the first and in the process landed some tidy bets. Think he will take some beating here when you take in the improvement from the first run and the fact that he looked a really nice horse that day. Tough as Nails' form has taken a couple of knocks. Don't think apart from Borris (who was suseqeuntly beaten at a short price) anything has won from the maidens he won.

3.10 - No bet. Minefield of a race. English sprinters seem to have the upper hand on ours but I wouldn't be entirely convinced by the the two that are coming over. If pushed Santo Padre would be the selection ew. No bet however.

3.45 - Dunboyne Express I think will take all the beaten. Money in the last few days would suggest he will be spot on today. He will need to have improved from his trial but at the same time there are doubts about all those who face him. He has beaten Dubawi Gold in the RP Trophy last year and bar ROC improves beyond all recognition for the hammering he got in the English 2000 then I'd like to think KP horse is the one to beat.

4.20 - Lolly for Dolly should take all the beating here. With two wins and a close 2nd to her name already this season on the Curragh she should be hard to beat. Collins' horse could well be the danger. Group 1 winner in Italy and we seen last weekend with the horse that was second to Canford Cliffs that the form should not be lightly.

Singles on all the above and will try a €5 yankee for the craic aswell.

3.45 Zabarajad E/W,not sure about the form of last run but willing to chance it the way it finished the race and will relish the extra furlong.

Don't fancy Dubawi Gold and would be a lay.

wd workrider,I thought Berry was in a bit of lumber just before the furlong pole where he looked like he'd nowhere to go but kept the head and got out of it.
