/ Follow The Money / 25 March 2012 / Leave a Comment Smart movers look to Ireland on a quiet Sunday
"There has been a move for Twirl, backed from [3.3] in to [2.54], in the 16:00."
Today's Follow the Money comes from the Curragh.
At 14:30, in the first two-year-old maiden of the season, Forester has been drifting all morning from [2.48] out to [3.3]. A number of these catch the eye on breeding and, as always in unraced juvenile contests, the market is normally the best guide. Jim Bolger's Dawn Approach, who represents the first crop of 2008 Derby hero New Approach, has attracted some support and it is the Adian O'Brien runner who is very weak in the market. The trainer has not won this race since 2004 and the market suggests he'll have to wait at least another year as punters are happy to oppose him at short prices.
There has been a move for Twirl, backed from [3.3] in to [2.54], in the 16:00. Aidan O'Brien's filly is a sister to the stables four time Group 1 winner Misty For Me and she looked one to follow this season after winning impressively at Leopardstown towards the end of last season. She looks certain to handle the step up to a mile and, with three-year-olds having won six of the last ten runnings of this Group 3 contest, punters expect that record to continue today.
Our final selection comes in the 17:00 where Sikara has been well supported from [9.2] in to [6.0]. Tommy Stack's lightly-raced filly was quite progressive last season, winning a filly's handicap at Cork by over six lengths. She has gone up 11lb for that win, but today's jockey does take off 7lb. The trainer has a good record in this race and with today's soft going also in her favour she looks capable of going close today.
