Porta Fortuna picked for the Irish 1000 Guineas
PORTA FORTUNA will be tough to beat in Sunday’s Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh. She was beaten to a neck in the English 1000 Guineas 3 weeks ago and this certainly looks within her capabilities but it is debatable whether 11/4 is value in such a competitive race. FALLEN ANGEL was the beaten favourite three weeks ago and is worth another chance.
