Sunday 11th August Phoenix Sprint Stakes Bet

Nice to come back with winner on Saturday with Ihtimal winning in good style in Sweet Solera stakes, landing nice gamble 4-1 into 11-4 .Hopefully that will be the start of good run in August .

On Sunday we have very decent card from the Curragh ,including four group races .The feature race is group one Keeneland Phoenix Stakes ,though this not really betting race with odds on favourite War Command looking impossible to oppose .

The most interesting race on the card looks to be the group three Phoenix sprint stakes over 6 furlongs at 4.15

4.15 CURRAGH 6F PHOENIX SPRINT STAKES GROUP THREE:

10 runners declared for this group three contest .On official handicap ratings this looks match between Sea Siren & Slade Power .

SEA SIREN : High quality sprinter in Australia winning three group one races in 2012 ,finished 8th of 18 in G1 Golden Jubilee stakes at Royal Ascot .Made no mistake on her first start for A P O'Brien ,when dropped in class winning 6 furlong listed race at Fairyhouse .Looks to hold obvious claims in this group three contest .

SLADE POWER: Fast improving 4-Y-0 ,won 5 furlong group three contest at Curragh in June beating Russian Soul .Followed that with career best effort finishing third in group one July Cup behind Lethal Force .Will be suited by this drop in class .

VERDICT : There looks little to choose between Sea Siren & Slade Power on there running in Golden Jubilee stakes at Royal Ascot in June. 

SLADE POWER has to concede weight all round ,though his third in group one July Cup at Newmarket  is best form on offer here and is just preferred over Sea Siren .Odds around 11-4 look fair value in race lacking strength in depth .

Sea Siren looks the obvious danger receiving 6LB after winning in good style at Fairyhouse last time ,though odds around 11-8 don't represent much value .
