Rizz had a good Saturday hunting, landing some nice winners between the main thread and the Lucky 15 thread.
I offered to give Rizz a night off and cover Sunday's racing, but he will return tomorrow with Monday's card. I didn't watch any racing on Saturday, so I can't provide an overview of how the winners performed. However, they won, and that is all that matters when the money is on the line.
I've just got the main fancy on Sunday in regards to the main thread, but there are other selections over on the Lucky 15 thread if you fancy having a punt on that.

Red Letter 7/4 – Curragh 5.00
I haven't had much success when backing the mounts of Colin Keane in recent times, but I struggle to see past his mount in this race as she looks a filly destined for bigger things.
My selection Red Letter has shown good promise from pretty much the get go. As a two-year-old she was beaten on this very same card in the Moyglare Stud Stakes. She ran a belter that day, only to go down by roughly a length in what was a bunched finish. On her seasonal reappearance, she finished midpack in the 1000 Guineas. I was particularly disappointed in that run as I expected more but she bounced back to form with a good second in a Listed contest at Navan which the reopposing Barnavara eventually won.
My selection has recently taken her form up a notch, landing two victories on the bounce. The first of those wins came in a Listed contest at Killarney on soft ground. After watching a replay of that contest, I was rather impressed. Red Letter didn't have the most ideal of journeys through that particular contest, having to go wide to make her challenge into the straight. She picked up well when asked to go and win and looked to have more in the locker. My selection then followed up at the Curragh when landing a Group 3 affair, reversing the form with Barnavara who finished back in third place.
This contest represents a step up in distance but if going by the manner of her recent victories, I think she will relish the trip with no issues. Colin Keane takes the ride as expected for connections and she looks the one to beat in my opinion.
