2) HORSE RACING TIPS: FRANK HICKEY’S 8 FAB FANCIES AT THE CURRAGH ON SATURDAY
.... ''''' 14:30 MORE BEAUTIFUL
I’m giving MORE BEAUTIFUL, who hasn’t won in five attempts since winning on her debut a chance here. She has been running in Group company though. Two races ago, she ran well at Leopardstown over a mile in the Guineas trial behind Joan Of Arc. Joan Of Arc has gone on to finish second in the Irish 1000 Guineas and she won the French Oaks.
More Beautiful was dropped from 1m down to 6 furlongs and she travelled well at the Curragh earlier this month. I’m not sure whether she didn’t finish the race well or they quickened away from her, but I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt. She’s running off 97 here, and Aidan O’Brien won this in 2017. Hopefully, he can do it again.
Castle Star has been very impressive in his last two wins, and they kept him at home from Ascot for this. However, DR ZEMPF won here at the start of the month on the same day that Point Lonsdale won at Ascot.
I love the way Dr Zempf travelled through that race, as he quickened away effortlessly. The third has come out since and won, and the second didn’t run too badly next time out as well. I’m really excited by him, he could be a really good one.
High Definition is favourite but Hurricane Lane, who beat him in the Dante Stakes, is a much better price. My initial reaction after the Dante was that High Definition would turn that form around, but can you be that sure? So, it’s worth taking High Definition on.
The issue with Mac Swiney is the ground, when he gets soft ground he wins, but when conditions are good, it’s another story. The one I like at a potential big price is WORDSWORTH, and Aidan O’Brien has a superb record in this race. He also fits the profile of last year’s winner Santiago.
Wordsworth was a little unlucky in the Queen’s Vase, the race was steadily ran which didn’t suit him as he’s all about stamina. He’ll be ridden a bit more handy here and maybe sat in at second or third. He won’t be far off the leaders, and he can give it a right go late on. '' ... .
