I will be shopping for Pearls And Rubies at the Curragh on Saturday and she will set the tone for my punting this weekend, but more about why I fancy her so strongly in a moment. 

We have another frantic Saturday ahead of us with an inordinate amount of betting opportunities spread across the afternoon and evening so it is vitally important to whittle it down to a manageable amount of selections. It would be a shame to see the well running dry on a day like this. 

There appears to be good bets at the Curragh, where the ground is sure to have softened quite a bit following heavy rain in the 24 hours.
