Ballinrobe (Ireland), Warwick and Windsor

Easily the most interesting runner at this evening´s 3 meetings is Gestüt Schlenderhan´s Miramare, who runs in the listed race for older fillies and mares over 11 furlongs at 21.40 CET at Warwick. The headstrong filly, withdrawn at the start of the German Oaks last year, for which she was hot favourite, is now trained by Andrew Stringer (Barney Curley´s assistant) and has finished in the money on all 3 of her British starts. She still finds it difficult to settle nd will no doubt try to make the running again, but this track and the slightly shorter distance could be ideal. Main dangers are Sweet Lucy (Mick Channon/ Tadge O´Shea), runner-up to Sixties Icon at Goodwood last time, and Bahia Breeze (Rae Guest/( Neil Callan), but both of these are moving up in distance. nother german-bred with possobilities here, although at a much lower level, is Twist Bookie, who runs in th amateur riders´ handicap over 1 1/2 miles at 19.40.He has fair hurdles form, and is only moderate on the flat, but this is a very poor race. Best bets at Windsor this evening should be Dear Maurice (Ed Dunlop/ Ryan Moore), who bids to follow up his very easy CD win last Monday under a 6 lbs penalty, and My Sweet Georgia (Barry and Michael Hills) in the 5 furlongs 2yo maiden at 20.30; she made a good debut in better company at York 16 days ago. Godolphin´s debutant Ibn Quaiba is an interesting runner in the 10 furlongs maiden an hour later. He comes from a top U.S. family and cost $ 775,000 as a yearling. Best of the opposition on public form is Mark Johnston´s Hunting Country (Darryll Holland), runner-up to a subsequent winner at Redcar last time out. At the Irish mixed meeting at Ballinrobe (4 flat and 4 N.H. races), Jessica Harrington´s useful hurdler Dreamy Gent (Andrew Leigh) makes his debut over fences at 20.20 and, if he jumps roiund safely, should account for today´s opposition easily enough, while Via Mantua and Some Craic both look extremely favourably weighted in the handicap hurdle races at 21.20 and 21.50 respectively.
