    Kalpana v Whirl and a couple of other useful contenders is on. Was hoping for a touch of rain so will hold fire but I’m thinking Kalpana is capable of giving Whirl the 12lb (WFA)

    2/1 Whirl, i must be dreaming

    Kalpana needs 1m4, not to mention the TWELVE LBS ,the rest wont get near

    Best get down here before it closes

    I agree Ham, that’s a fair price actually, but I’m taking the ew route with Higher Leaves. I’ve taken the 16-1

    If minnie hauk was running she’d be 5/6 and kalpana 6/4, im still firmly in the camp that whirl should have won, so cant not have a max bet on that theory

    Price is just wrong (win or lose) but she’ll win

    I am in the Kalpana camp and at 15/8 9/4 am happy got those prices, just feel they will ride Kalpana more forward (again) and pick Whirl up, but been wrong many times

    I have a feeling that, were there such a thing as a 1m3f race, Whirl would really benefit from it.

    So don't run, just like the others always do

    Plenty of 10F races for her like Nassau Stakes, Prix de l’Opéra or even the Juddmonte and the 2 Champion Stakes and then you have the BC Filly & Mare Turf which is actually over 11F.

    Assume she will avoid Minnie Hauk but if for any reason she blows out in the Irish Oaks they could always redirect her to races like the Yorkshire Oaks, Prix Vermeille and British Champions Fillies and Mares Stakes.

    That was a superb finish to the race
    A lot of credit has to be given to both
