Today's Tips: Fast ground should suit Miss Dinamic in opener at Thurles

Thurles on a Thursday conjures up images of national hunt racing in the depths of winter, but the ground is expected to ride on the fast side this afternoon and that should suit Miss Dinamic, who can take the opener for the in-form stable of Gordon Elliott.

The mare has been consistent all season, and ran the race of her career to date when third behind stable companion The Game Changer in a Grade 3 at Punchestown just last week. The winner was in a league of his own, but a mistake at the second-last cost Miss Dinamic her chance of taking the runner-up spot. That level of form stands out against today’s opposition, and a clear round of jumping should suffice.

The danger is likely to come from Jesmond Lodge, who had all still to play for when falling at the last in a race won by Perfect Woman. As a four-year-old, she receives all the allowances, but may not get it her own way up front.
