Our View on the Curragh Card
Three races worth a view, scored on market position, official ratings, recent form and yard form. Our reasoning is shown so you can disagree with it.
Major Triumph is the strongest case on the card at 5/4. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.
Sonny Hayes makes more sense each-way at 11/4. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.
Lilli's Angel is the strongest case on the card at 4/1. Recent form reads well against these. In a 17-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
Nouvel Espoir makes more sense each-way at 5/1. Recent form reads well against these. In a 17-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
Together Now is the strongest case on the card at 1/9. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.
Sounds Great makes more sense each-way at 6/1. Recent form reads well against these.
