Horse Racing: Saturday 25th March Tips

By LadyD

Honey Girl 14:50 Curragh @ 2.20

Rock Hurley 15:43 Bangor-on-Dee @ 2.20

Bollingerandkrug 16:45 Kelso @ 2.00

------------------------

HONEY GIRL is dropped back into maiden company following a trying campaign with Henry de Bromhead last year. On form alone, HONEY GIRL stands out in this field and official ratings give her all the appeal today.

After wasting some good opportunities, this race gives HONEY GIRL every chance of landing a win first time out for Joseph O'Brien. The main concern comes from the Aidan O'Brien trained Unless, but if the selection can build upon the performance of last year, she will be very hard to beat

1 Honey Girl

Age: 4 Weight: 10-2 Jockey: Dylan Browne McMonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien

Form: 36265-

------------------------

ROCK HURLEY makes his British racing debut on after landing back to back wins in France. Donald McCain's new recruit made eye-catching progress signing off in France and should be capable of overcoming the 12-0 burden that's been applied.

1 Rock Hurley

Age: 5 Weight: 12-0 Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Donald McCain

Form: FP-U11

------------------------

BOLLINGERANDKRUG has two hurdle wins at Kelso and added a C&D win three weeks ago. An 8lb rise in the weights shouldn't be enough to stop him today based on the jumping and distance in which he won here.
