Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Sunday; Dermot Weld’s Caponata in the 3.50 at The Curragh. Compare odds and bet.
The pick of the action on Sunday comes from the Curragh, with the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes the feature event on a card that contains four Group races in all.
The Group 2 Blanford Stakes looks a cracker and, while Nahrain is very much respected on last year’s form (shown nothing like that in two starts at four), another chance is given to Caponata (3:50) who lost her unbeaten record here in July.
Dermot Weld’s three-year-old had earlier looked a high-class filly in the making, winning impressively on debut and then under similar conditions to today at Naas in June.
The step back up in trip and, more importantly, a return to better ground could well suit the daughter of Selkirk, who looks to possess a fine turn of foot. She quickened up to lead last time, looking all over the winner, before being swallowed up late on soft ground and I suspect she’ll be held onto for longer today.
As low as 3/1 with Bet365 and Bet Victor, the selection was available at 9/2 with Stan James overnight, with the best odds guaranteed firms Boylesports and Paddy Power offering 4s. Rather like yesterday’s Irish winner, there seems some disparity between the bookmakers prices.
