It is Irish Champions weekend, with day two of the meeting taking place at the Curragh, and Racing Post handicapper and tipster Jonny Pearson is on hand to run you through his best bets.
There are four Group 1 races on the card and it is set to be a great day of racing.
The Flying Five Stakes is perhaps the feature with the Group 1 sprint attracting 18 runners and, as we have seen with sprints all season, it is very difficult to guess who might end up victorious here.
With the Irish St Leger, competitive handicaps and high class two-year-olds on show as well, there really is something for everyone at the Curragh.
Curragh Horse Racing Betting Tips
13:45 Curragh - Dmaniac @ 14/1
15:25 Curragh - Mission Central @ 10/1
17:45 Curragh - God Of Power @ 10/1
13:45 Curragh - Dmaniac @ 14/1
On paper this is a fiercely competitive handicap to start the day and there is plenty going for DMANIAC.
He hasn't been seen since a good second at Cork in May, but this will have been the plan for a while, with the fast summer ground unsuitable for the gelding.
The break is of no concern, with his first run coming over this course and distance, where he was an impressive winner by more than three lengths.
This will be his first run back over the trip and it should suit perfectly. He is higher in the weights, but he still looks well handicapped on his early-season form.
Wayne Lordon is back on board and was present for the win earlier in the year. Provided Martin Hassett has the gelding in good form, he can return with a victory on a big weekend.
15:55 Curragh - Mission Central @ 10/1
Our second selection comes in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes. MISSION CENTRAL has been disappointing since victorious in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot, but that was a good performance and his third win in a row.
In the July Cup and the Nunthorpe most recently things just didn't go right for him, but a return to the Curragh can see him back at his best.
At the course he is two from two and this could be crucial to him finding his best form once again.
The level of form he displayed at Ascot is good enough for success here and prior to that he had won both his races this year.
Provided he is operating at the levels he achieved earlier in the season, he can win another race at the highest level.
17:45 Curragh - God Of Power @ 10/1
We finish with the concluding handicap and a chance is to be taken on GOD OF POWER for the in-form Andrew Slattery team. He impressed at the start of the season with a win and has gone from strength to strength since then.
Following a 50-day break he put in a much-improved effort against older horses at Gowran Park and he has since run a good second at Roscommon.
Although he has gone up 2lb in the handicap, he still looks to be well treated.
Lightly raced with only seven runs to his name and with continued improvement likely, there is every chance he can add another success to his CV.
