Irish 2000

[High Rate]

Fort Knox for me. At the prices he just clinches the vote, ahead of the second favourite....

Funny betting heat this and looks to be some value. I liked Havana Golds run in the French guineas and think he looks overpriced at 15/2.

I also can't understand First Cornerstones price; shouldn't be 33/1.

First Cornerstone needs softer ground and a longer distance
also has to improve his form on the book


I think Obrien will dominate th race
Flying Flag could be an interesting long shot


but no bet for me here

 

[Aragorn]

Probably right re FCC but I still think his price is wrong, relatively speaking.

I've backed Havana Gold; expect Spencer to play him as late as possible.

I can't see FC running next week, so soon after today so my a/p bet on him looks toast. Maybe the Irish Derby is the target but if he's an Irish Derby horse he might be good enough for a place here given the paucity of class in the race.

Magician looked a very classy winner.

 

[Sea Pigeon]

Smart horse that Magician. Will be very interesting to see where he turns up next, if he was mine, he'd go Epsom.

Thought FC ran respectably enough FTO in a classic. Not beaten up when his chance had gone.
