Listed races in Tipperary

Once again the best races of the day come from Ireland, with a listed race over 5 furlongs at 19.00 CET and another one for 2yo´s over 7 1/2 furlongs at 20.05 at Tipperary this evening. 7 runners here, and the highest-rated is Reglisse (Eddie Lynam/ Shane Foley),the only filly in the field, who has already run respectably in group races,. but in our opinion to two to concentrate on are the Aga Khan´s Dibayani (Michael Halford/ Johnny Murtagh) and Coolmore´s King George River (Aidan O´Brien/ Colm O´Donoghue), both easy maiden winners last time and both with lots of potential.The sprint race features Inxile (David and Adrian Nicholls), who won this race last year and has a good record in Irish sprints, but seems to be out of form this year, so we prefer Nocturnal Affair (David Marnane/ Fergal Lynch) and After (Aidan O´Brien/ Seamus Heffernan), who is brought back in distance.

Brighton ends its 3 day meeting today with another very tricky handicap, this time over 6 furlongs at 16.40. Prodigality (Ron Harris/ Darren Egan) has been runner-up on both starts this season and looks certain to be involved, while Peter Island (Jeff Gallagher/ Pat Cosgrave) won here yesterday, but bottom-weight Another Citizen (Tim Easterby/ Ted Durcan) looks the one to beat. He has been kept very busy, running 4 times in July, then winning last week at Thirsk and running again at Wolverhampton on Monday - beaten a head- but he seems to stand up to this rigorous routine very well and is still on a very reasonable mark and the stable is in great form.
Luke Morris is having a good season and can win both the main races at Musselburgh - at 16.00 on Sir Mark Prescott´s Liber in the 2yo conditions race, and an hour later on Robin Bastiman´ s Green Howard in the 7 furlongs handicap; this one has won 4 of his 9 starts and could well improve further.

Our best bet at this evenihg´s U.K.meetings is Askaud (Scott Dixon/ Robert Winston), who has top-weight in the fillies handicap over a mile at 21.00 at Haydock. She looked very unlucky at Goodwood last week and can gain recompence here, but the lightly-raced Burke´s Rock (Jeremy Noseda/ Richard Hughes) and the bottom-weight Magic Destiny (Elaine Burke/ Martin Harley), who has already won 3 races this year, including this CD twice, look very dangerous.
