UK Horse Racing Tips: Cork

SHE'S QUALITY can gain a deserved win. The Acclamation filly has kept good company on her three outings to date and was a fine fourth in a Group 3 on her penultimate outing. She bumped into a smart filly in Navassa Island when second back at the Curragh just five days ago and with a rating of 96, sets a high standard here. Ballydoyle newcomer Sweetest is obviously one to note. The Blue Point filly cost 420,000 euros as a yearling and is a half-sister to Listed winner Archer's Dream, out of a winning half-sister to King's Stand hero Profitable. Vanity Pays wasn't beaten far when seventh in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas and could get involved at the business end back in maiden company.
Prediction : 1st Shes Quality 2nd Sweetest 3rd Vanity Pays

There may be a bit more to come from NEVER SHOUT NEVER on just his fourth career outing. The No Nay Never colt ran well in maiden company last time when going down by three-parts of a length to Elda and looks to have a fair enough mark now on his handicap debut. Jamie Powell takes a valuable 5lb off his back as he was due to carry plenty of weight. Spirit Of Eagles won well at Down Royal and could be a danger, despite a 7lb rise. American In Paris is the other last-time-out winner in the field and commands respect after her narrow victory over a furlong further here three weeks ago. The runner-up has won since.
Prediction : 1st Never Shout Never 2nd Spirit Of Eagles 3rd American In Paris

This looks like a nice opportunity for TARAWA to claim a deserved black-type victory. The Shamardal filly has been placed three times at stakes level this season, as well as finishing fourth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. She travelled well turning for home last time before having to settle for third behind Zarinsk in the Group 2 Minstrel Stakes, and it's interesting to see her fitted with headgear now. Cosmic Vega was behind the selection in fifth at Leopardstown and is now actually 3lb worse off as he has a penalty in this for his previous Listed success at Naas. Carrytheone was turned over at a short price at Naas, on softer ground, but had been placed twice at stakes level previously and has to be on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tarawa 2nd Cosmic Vega 3rd Carrytheone

Ryan Moore sticks with Boogie Woogie, having ridden her on all her starts this term, but it may pay to side with Irish Oaks third LIBRARY. The Galileo filly ran a cracker in Classic company at the Curragh, making the running and just giving way inside the final furlong when placed behind stablemate Savethelastdance. Things hadn't worked out for her previously at Leopardstown when she was a touch keen behind the leaders, and then met traffic before failing to see out 1m6f. Her profile had been progressive prior to that, having won the Naas Oaks Trial, and she can add another prize to her CV. Boogie Woogie has shown up well on a couple of trips to France this year, and wasn't disgraced in a Group 1 at Longchamp in May before finishing a fine second in a Chantilly Group 3 the following month. Shamida had the selection behind her when landing the Stanerra Stakes at Leopardstown so has to be considered. She looked to need every yard of that 1m6f trip, however.
Prediction : 1st Library 2nd Boogie Woogie 3rd Shamida

It would be no surprise if ERATO found a nice bit of improvement from her debut run now that she is tried in blinkers. The Galileo filly stayed on from the rear first time up at Bellewstown to finish sixth, and looked like she would improve plenty from that experience. Van Demon sets the standard off a mark of 83. The Australia gelding chased home Shamwari at Dundalk last month and is probably the form choice on the book. Jupiter Rock, fourth in a decent Curragh maiden on his return in late June, looks another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Erato 2nd Van Demon 3rd Jupiter Rock

HELPMEOUT has been running consistently and may be able to get back into the winner's enclosure. The Mastercraftsman filly just lost out to Bells On Her Toes on her penultimate outing at Naas, and the winner went on to frank that form at Galway. On her most recent start, she was a staying-on fourth in a hot Curragh handicap and a similar run should see her bang there in this company. Saturn Seven only got 4lb for her success at Limerick in late June and there could be a bit more to come from the three-year-old. Lady Arwen struck on her second outing for Conor O'Dwyer at Limerick on that same day and is another for the shortlist, if turning up after Thursday's Leopardstown engagement.
Prediction : 1st Helpmeout 2nd Saturn Seven 3rd Lady Arwen

GOLDEN DAYS comes here in fine form and may be able to complete the hat-trick. The Canford Cliffs mare has only won by a neck on her last two outings, but overcame conditions softer than ideal at Gowran last time and may have another victory in her back on better ground here. The rain probably came at the wrong time for Cherry Bloom at Limerick last time. She is 5lb higher than when scoring at Fairyhouse previously and could be a big player. Amemri didn't get involved on heavy ground at Ffos Las, but had been running well prior to that and looks a player back on better going.
Prediction : 1st Golden Days 2nd Cherry Bloom 3rd Amemri

HAN SOLO drops back in trip a bit after being collared late on at Killarney last month and may be able to win a weak enough race. The Havana Gold gelding is a previous course winner and is effectively only 2lb higher than for his most recent outing. Pallasmore Lass has been running well enough of late and was eased 1lb for a solid fifth-placed effort at Naas. She looks like another leading contender. Kratos ran poorly on the all-weather, but had a couple of decent runs on turf prior to that and could be given a chance on that form.
Prediction : 1st Han Solo 2nd Pallasmore Lass 3rd Kratos
