John had a very good winner yesterday but its all up to play for 
 so where do I go to find something to get past him? (without someone else zooming up the leader board)
 9 weeks free subscription is a powerful incentive!

am looking at a few with  a wary eye on the weather - animal in my focus is Aloof in the 3.55 Curragh fillies mile  surely the ground cannot get significantly worse? 
Alloof is largely unconsidered  in the market,.but Has the pedigree, out of the speedy Airwave who scored in this;  she is a winner of three races and distance and ground right uquite adaptable trip-wise, often making the running; left for dead on seasonal return by Caponata (The ground will be too fast for that one today and dont expect it to run.) She was on her sesonal return and looked good till running out of puff .She runs so well on good ground and has form around here in good races on soft and g/soft ground I will be taking the early price but it depends on NO rain to make her my nap. You have to say that Chigun is the only filly that has recorded a faster time and trained by Cecil is the one Aloof has to beat BUT my Sire focus gives Aloof the edge - Galileo bred against (Chigun Oasis bred) and of course  La Collina  when giving the high-class Maybe a fright in a steadily-run Group 3 at Leopardstown  exhibiting a useful turn of foot; should prove effective at this shorter trip

Greenland stakes Curragh 2.45
 won by Tiddliwinks last year out of stall 2  carrying a massive 10stone  and brit trained runners have won 7 of the last 10 running's  and the winner has been 8/1 or less with a loss on the favvy looking for a low drawn horse that has had a couple of runs and won at 6flngs looks the way to be going along with a good run at this track  That to me means there are big positives for  Reply who is drawn 2 has good runs under its belt (apart from last time out on g/frm Was 100/1 that day folks so not an O'Brien fancy- shorten in the market significantly and will be selected but 
Its hard to get away from Marreck as the form horse of the race with the profile of previous winners and is my selection beaten into 5th at york but will strip better today out of this box  Non Runner!!!!!

 Good luck today guys will be on twitter late for my thoughts and bets for Ffoss and Cartmel
