irish derby 2007

The first round heats of the 2007 Irish derby kicks off tonight in shelbourne park
the top Irish dogs will be on display over the next 5 weeks or so
After his brilliant display in the champion stakes the reigning champion razldazl billy will take a lot of beating; he is in tip top form at the minute and with the rub of the green he can become the first back to back Irish derby champion since Spanish battleship...
The main dangers to his crown look to be ardkill Jamie,si senor,line of fire to name a few
As usual im sure there will be a few surprises along the way and one i fancy at a big price would be Allen gael this fella ran really well to qualify for the ladbroke 600 i dont think he will have the class to win but he could qualify a good few rounds
Ive found that lifford form stands up very well when it comes to the big ones in shelbourne
Nawhobbertadda is another nice young pup that i like he ran really well behind catunda harry in a race in the park and is double harrys price so may be a little value in him
saying that catunda is no value at the 25/1 quoted
On the subject of prices the market is very one sided by the sponsors paddy power so my advice is to shop around if you are having a bet i have found oddschecker.co.uk to be a valuable tool when it comes to checking for value after a look earlier today betfair looks the place to be.
