The Irish Derby meeting at the Curragh takes centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster on the big race.
Curragh
J: R L Moore
T: A P O'brien
Los Angeles was a perfect 3 wins from 3 starts when taking part in the Epsom Derby at the start of the month and looked to have a decent chance in the race too. He did well to finish 3rd of 16 and could not match the speed of his stablemate City Of Troy in the final 2f. Los Angeles did look like a horse that would be better suited with a real test of stamina that day and it would be no surprise if connections hatched a plan to ensure a proper test on what can be a stiff finish at the Curragh. He does have work to do to turn the form around with Ambiente Friendly, but now on home soil, Los Angeles can continue his progress and turn the tables. Los Angeles rates a 4 star win Pick.
