The team at PicksfromthePaddock.co.uk gives their best bet of the day.

14:55 Curragh
A fascinating Listed sprint contest over 5f looks to be the highlight of the day as the Curragh gets back into full swing for the flat season.
The American superstar sprinter Acapulco, formerly trained stateside by Wesley Ward, now makes his debut for the Aiden O’Brien yard and he looks the stand out pick on form here if fully wound up for his seasonal reappearance.
The four-year-old is unlucky to make more than a couple of appearances for the yard given that she is in foal to Galileo, but the master trainer looks to have found an ideal opportunity for her to sign off with a win given that she gets weight from the majority of the field here.
The 2015 Queen Mary winner can strike again here and gets the nod. Robert Cowell provides a trio of dangers in opposition and last time out winner Sir Robert Cheval looks most likely to pounce should the selection fail to fire.
ACAPULCO (WIN) - NAP

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
