UK/ Ire racing

Wonderful race my horse 2nd but a fantastic days racing

R6 Curragh Atlas E/W. Is improving and should enjoy tonight's quicker ground and longer trip. Not badly handicapped on his recent form in maidens and can go well at 9/1 in an open handicap.

R6 Newcastle Misu Pete E/W. Likes tapeta (has only ever run on the AW) and still nicely handicapped. Has been sent a long way to run here and should go well from a decent draw (centre to stands side seems the place to be on the straight course at Newcastle). 13/2 or bigger is a fair price in a weakish race.

French Derby today...

Foundation must have a big chance, although dante form was knocked a bit with Wings Of Desire looking outclassed a wee bit yesterday

Will give it a look bob txs

QE11 Singapore

Prix Du Jockey Club(French Derby) today. My fancy is Mekhtaal - A facile winner last time in a Gr 2 and he looks classy enough to have a major say here. He'll enjoy the ground today but has a bad draw but I think he'll still be a major player. He's quoted at around 6/1 on the UK boards and I'm waiting for a price to open up here. Think 6/1 is generous.

A saver on Imperial Aviator who bolted up last time in a handicap and was supplemented for this race, seems to have a big future too. 8/1 generally.

I am sure Richard Jonhson will have a good day at Perth

R1 Kilbeggan. Not A Bad Oul Day E/W. This is a very weak maiden hurdle. The selection is a fair flat horse who acts well on quick ground. Took a while to get the hang of things on his hurdling debut here last time, but jumped better as the race went on and wasn't given a hard time once his chance had gone. Will know much more today and can make the first three at least at 14/1 (widely available - will go off shorter).

Last one for today. R5 Perth Gold Futures win or E/W. Just don't fancy Menorah with his big weight over three miles round here. The selection likes quick ground and will find this much easier than the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown last time (trip would have been a bit too far in any case). Dropped 3lbs for that and looks to have been aimed at this. 5/1 is a very good price in this small field.

Shocking ride on Mekhtaal. A front runner held up near the rear off a slow pace?? Mind boggling.

Thanks Steck, rounding off a very profitable weekend.
