OLIVIA MARALDA – 1 Pt EW @ 12/1 4 places generally
2yo highlight was her Group 2 second at the Curragh (7f, good) behind subsequent Irish 1,000 Guineas runner-up Meditate, and she returned to form on her second start for this yard when beating Holguin and Streets Of Gold to win Epsom Listed race (7f, good to firm) on Oaks day, a very convincing winner in that last race and that performance makes her one to consider her with Guineas form also a must. She was drawn on the wrong side in the Jersey and came home strongly. There looks a ton of pace on in this, 3 year old’s have done well and the fillies allowance is useful so hopefully she can arrive on the scene late in the piece to take the spoils.

MUMS TIPPLE – 1 Pt EW @ 20/1 6 places generally
ALBASHEER – 1.25 Pt Win @ 20/1 generally
I have had my eye on both of these for big handicaps and have to back both. Mums Tipple went off 9/2 favourite for this last year and got murdered. Better off at the weights with winner that day Summerghand and has had him behind a few times this year. Albasheer is a class animal and as been shaping eye-catchingly well in big handicaps. A mark of 5, if taking to this track, then he surely gets involved.
