The racing brain is rather weary after an excellent and engrossing week's racing on the Knavesmire and finding it difficult to spot a bet for today. Therefore one is focusing on the 2 year old contests at the Curragh and Sandown with a view to the autumn. Firstly, Meow (regally bred) should enhance her reputation at the Curragh over 5f. She ran well at Royal Ascot and meets a lesser grade today. Her dam Airwave was a particular favourite of this corner and indeed she may go on to emulate her win in the Cheveley Park. The Futurity Stakes for colts has been won in the recent past by two of Jim Bolger's stars, Teofilio and New Approach. The highly regarded Glor na Mara represents the stable this afternoon but so far has not looked as good as that pair. His last run entitles him to go off favourite but like many, I was impressed with Pathfork and favour him to progress further.
Over at Sandown, the always informative Solario Stakes has an interesting hue. Native Khan leads the market, but Titus Mills battled well last day and might be the sort to enjoy the climb to the winning post. Stentorian (beaten by Zoffany and King Torus on last two runs) can give us a decent yardstick.
A watching multiple will whet the punting thirst; Meow, Pathfork, Titus Mills..
good luck....
