Sunday Selection's

CURRAGH 3.40 ... MISS JEAN BRODIE 1 Pt E/W @ 33/1 Generally ... 40's Exchanges

Miss Jean Brodie caught the eye on her debut at Kempton having been out the back early, and ran widest of all from the 2 furlong mark/final bend and cut through the field to grab third with a strong finish.
Showed that was no fluke with an impressive win last time out in a Doncaster Stakes beating Marywell when 5 length clear of the field.
Marywell's previous 2nd to Michael Stoutes Nouriya (entered in the Lyric Stakes Class1 at York on Friday) could be better than 1st glance.
The 10.5 length 6th from that Doncaster contest, Sea Of Galilee, won impressively eased down at Nottingham on Friday with the 3 length 2nd around 8 length clear of the 3rd runner.
Miss Jean Brodie is still to show her true potential and if improving as she has done on her 2 previous runs could turn out much better than her maiden success gives her credit.
Handling softer going here but not often you get 33/1 or more for a Godolphin runner and worthy of a E/W wager at the 40/1 odds on the exchanges.

CURRAGH 4.45 ... MASTA PLASTA @ 7/1

Masta Plasta won this event 2 seasons back under this jockey off a 3lb higher rating and has been running some good races lately in quick times.
Last time out at Epsom his 1 length 5th place was run faster than course average which was a more credible effort given he was drawn 2, giving weight to all his rivals, with all but one (drawn 9) of the 1st Eight home in double figure stalls.
Although arguably better with good/firm in the going description does handle this ground, though what he does need is a strong pace and should get that today.
Last Year's winner Just For Mary would be my selection for the runner up spot as he is proven on softer going whereas Airspace appears to want good or better ground on evidence to date. He is also weighted to better his position with Airspace on 8lb better terms than their latest encounter.

Masta Plasta 1 Pt win
Just For Mary 1/2 Pt F/C
