Tip 1: 14:00 Curragh - Go Athletico - 0.5pts Each-Way At 28/1 With Bet365 (5 Places)
Go Athletico has form figures that wouldn't fill you with confidence.
The seven-year-old is on a long losing run, but his handicap mark is falling as a result.
He is now down to a career low 86, which could be low enough for him to get back into contention.
His last two runs were a step in the right direction, and with most betting apps paying out to five places, he is worth an each-way bet.
Tip 2: 15:05 Curragh - Arizona Blaze - 1pt Win At 7/2 With William Hill
The Sapphire Stakes sees some classy speedsters go head to head.
There is very little to separate those at the head of the market with horse racing betting sites, but Arizona Blaze could prove best.
Adrian Murray's colt had some good two-year-old form, including a course and distance win here on debut.
He has trained on nicely, and was beaten just a neck in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last time.
Mgheera and Rumstar are probably the biggest dangers, but he is worth a chance in a tight race.
Tip 3: 15:40 Curragh - Subsonic - 0.5pts Each-Way At 28/1 With Bet365
The feature race of the day, the Irish Oaks, is centred around Minnie Hauk, who won the Epsom equivalent last time out.
She is a top-level performer and seems to be improving with every start.
Aidan O'Brien's filly is the likely winner, but at the prices, it may be worth taking her on.
Wemightakedlongway is the obvious danger, but Subsonic is interesting at a big price.
Unfortunately, there are just seven runners, so there are just two places from an each-way angle.
Subsonic was runner-up to Minnie Hauk as a two-year-old and can be forgiven for her first run back this season.
With her stable in fine form, she might be worth a small each-way bet.
