1:45 Curragh Tips

Aidan O'Brien's talented Frankel filly brings appealing prior maiden form and teams up with top jockey Ryan Moore. My NAP bet today.

Speckles stands out as a high-class prospect loaded with massive physical and genetic upside for this straight seven-furlong test. Aidan O'Brien's beautifully bred No Nay Never filly caught the eye in no uncertain terms over this exact course and distance three weeks ago, where she was completely transformed once the penny dropped late in the day to finish an incredibly never-nearer sixth. That visual performance density maps out as an exceptional performance floor, signaling that she possesses a serious engine once fully educated. She gains a maximum twenty-point upgrade for her exquisite pedigree stamina mapping, tracking as a daughter of an absolute blue-blood Irish and Yorkshire Oaks winner, which perfectly equips her to handle the severe physical torque required for the Curragh's climbing straight. Stepping into her crucial second career start, she hits her optimal physical win-efficiency window, a lifecycle stage that routinely triggers substantial forward progression for developing juveniles.

Interesting newcomer. A filly by Too Darn Hot. The yard has done well with newcomers this season, and a top jockey on board should give this one a big chance.

She was second at the Curragh over 7f on July 19, beaten only by Shi Yang, with Alpine Wedding third. That was her debut, so there is plenty of scope for improvement. Her RPR from that race is 87, which isn't remotely as strong as Ibelieveicanfly's 98. But expected improvement from a debut, proven C&D, and the current price.

Taking chance on Exceptionally to go close here..Ram well to plac 3ed in 6 runners last time.out at leopardtwons over 8f. 7f trip should not be problem today. Trainer aiden obrien's yard is 9-39 here with 2yr old runners this season. Jockey ronan Whelannis 1win and 1palced for this yard this season.he is 3-108 here but had planety of placed.so I think ExcellpuonLky has good ew ch ne in this one.

A Walt Whitman relation and half sister to Ma France, this Churchill filly was a 165k yearling and holds group 1 entries.

A higher draw may have been more ideal but, it is possible to run well from this draw over this course and distance. Looked in need of the experience last time so may be wiser now, possibly improves on that last run.

Chattering Classes is a newcomer for the Harrington yard, no debut winners for this team as yet but Shane Foley in the cockpit could produce a decent effort for this well bred filly.

A filly by Wootton Bassett, Popped makes an eagerly awaited debut here. The word from the Donnacha Aidan O'Brien-trained camp is that she is the favoured of the two runners they have here today. The win portion can be live here, but that depends on what the fav Ibelieveicanfly does in truth. The placings on debut here look wide open.

This race is all about the close to even-money favourite Ibelieveicanfly, with the rest of the field looking completely wide open. Which always provides an opportunity to land a knockout long-odds winner like debutant Darlene, who comes from good stock and is a 6f winner, so the pedigree is there.
