EXPERT RACING TIPS: CURRAGH
Best Bets
Rory Flanagan
BACK: 2. One Look (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $2.75)
Disappointing at Royal Ascot but likely never experienced ground that fast. Form prior was excellent with a game second to the stellar Porta Fortuna. Should get the box seat behind the leader and look the one as they turn for home.

CURRAGH PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | SUNDAY JULY 20TH 2025
TRACK: Good
Track should race almost the same as yesterday with minor upgrades for those coming off the pace
10. Signora
11. Sugar Island
12. You’ll Think Of Me
3. Green Interlude
Betting Strategy
Possible that Signora will come out due to the ground so sitting out if it does.
5. Pink Oxalis
6. Varshini
10. Empress Artemis
9. Darkdeserthighway
Betting Strategy
BACK: 5. Pink Oxalis (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $6.00)
Pink Oxalis didn’t seem to handle the step up in trip to 1800m but had two good wins over a mile earlier in the prep. Ridden forward from a better draw down in trip the price is enticing.
2. One Look
9. Tasmania
10. Uluru
4. Beechwood
Betting Strategy
BACK: 2. One Look (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $2.75)
Disappointing at Royal Ascot but likely never experienced ground that fast. Form prior was excellent with a game second to the stellar Porta Fortuna. Should get the box seat behind the leader and look the one as they turn for home.
4. Valorous Power
1. Our Friend Mouse
2. Glen To Glen
5. Lady In Paris
Betting Strategy
BACK: 4. Valorous Power (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $3.60)
Valorous Power meets Our Friend Mouse better at the weights having both carried the same in novice company. Should be able to use that edge to turn the tables and position in front or close to the pace.
9. Vespertilio
2. Chicago Critic
3. Diego Velazquez
11. California Dreamer
Betting Strategy
BACK: 9. Vespertilio (WIN & PLACE) for 1 unit (Rated at $5.00)
Vespertilio loves the Curragh and has a fine record here with only a lack of rain hurting her chances. The sole poor run here came when failing to see out the mile and I’m happy to chance her at odds over the price of the fav who keeps missing assignments.
7. Surpass and Shine
6. Magical Vision
19. Beano Power
11. My Girl Sioux
Betting Strategy
Big wide open field over the minimum trip. Leave
6. Light As Air
4. Edelak
5. Kingstonian
8. Slaney Drive
Betting Strategy
BACK: 6. Light As Air (WIN) for 4 units (Rated at $2.00)
Light As Air might end up $1.80 if the track ends up too soft for Edelak. The big field and dimensions of Royal Ascot didn’t suit and it was probably too firm so a smaller field maiden is much more in the wheelhouse and he should be seeing off this field.
4. Guarded
10. Treasure Rose
5. Metamorphic
9. Sunlight Dance
Betting Strategy
Won’t know much until the rain arrives and half this field may scratch.
