Hoping Honeysuckle runs here so I get a better price for Benie. Reclaim some insurance from last years fall.

Tending to agree. Been sweet on Floressa for this for a while, her last run has put me off slightly. Still think her form is red hot though
 
The dogs have been barking for her for some time. The race at the weekend had most of her potential rivals finishing in a heap including stablemate Dolcita. Willie has targeted her at Limerick rather than a harder prep, and now has a perfect line on the opposition from Dolcita. It couldn't have worked out better for them.
 
Lamarckise is very weak in the market this morning against nothing opposition.

She's a big mare with a staying pedigree too, around the inside track at Limerick not ideal.

Would tread carefully.
 
Can scratch Lamarckise after that for me.

I’m staying with what I think and going with Floressa.
 
Im happy enough to hold tight on her anyway. First race in 2 years in horrendous ground with Townend way wide all the way round looking for better ground.

They clearly knew she needed that, and that's exactly what you wanted to hear from Willie afterwards. Worth bearing in mind all of the horses he's likely to aim at the graded races at the Festival have needed their first run this season, and she's no exception. You'd be more worried if she didn't!
