Gowran Park today

There is no flat racing in the U.K. today and the Irish meeting at Gowran Park is rather low key for a Sunday. Main event is the listed race for fillies over 9 1/2 furlongs at 17.40. Aloof (David ewachman/ Wayne Lirdan) won a Group Three over this CD last September, with Caponata (Dermot Weld/ Pat Smullen) a disappointing favourite. Although that is tzhe bdest form in the race, it woiuld be no surprise to see Weld´s filly tuzrn the tables this time. A danger to all is the 3yo We´ll Go Walking (Jim Bolger/ Kevin Manning), who won her only start in surprisingly easy fashion 3 weeks ago. That was here over 1 1/2 miles and she is certainly bred like a stayer, but the stable is in great form and she must also be feared over this shorter trip. She gets lots of weight from the older fillies, biut we shall stick with Weld and Smullen, who can also win the two following races, both maidens over the same trip, with Sharp Crisp Air at 18.10 and Ghaamer half an hour later. The handicaps have large fields and look too tricky, although it is interesting to see Aidan O´Brien have a runner rated 50 - Flower Bouquet, owned by his wife and ridden by his daughter Anastasia, who runs at 16.30. She is possibly the slowest horse in the yard but must still have a chance in this lowly company.
