Irish 1000 guineas 

Tuesday   9.3  11/4

Concert hall   9.0 14/1 

Mis en scene   8.6 

Agartha  8.4 

Tricky race ...lots of top class horses in with chances as you'd expect ...Tuesday looks the most likely winner ....but for a bit of value I'm gonna back concert hall ew .....the drop back in trip is questionable but just looks good ew value in a very open race 

Concert hall 5pt ew 14/1

Alanquer 9/2 last night, Lord North 2/1 fav, Alenquer beat Lord North fair and square last year, it also beat Derby winner Adayar fair and square. sometimes, not often, you get a gift, and yes i know i posted this after the event but my point is obvious.

As a little follow up to this. Tuesday 5/1 second fav for the Oaks, this is a horse that has 1 win from 4 races, good luck with that one if your daft enough.

RESULTS UPDATE

3 winners but Tuesday let me down on Sunday.  Fantastic performance by Homeless Songs.  Had Tuesday won I would have been quids in with my double.  My profit of 5.5 was brought about by @richard-westwood's selection Additional winning so thanks to him once more.  I feel that I am beginning to get the hang of tackling these wide open races.  I used to think it was better to play safe with 3/4 possible selections under 9/1 and favourites at odds between evens and 2/1.  After two years of wasting time on these beasts I now feel I'm better off playing the seemingly wider open races.  In this regard @Zilzalianwas right. I needed to change tack.  My thanks to him for that.  In all honesty I don't feel that one necessarily gets a better run from an even-money shot as opposed to a 5/1 fancied runner in an open race.

+5.5 points = MTD +69.32 and YTD -159.95
