FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Delirious Love had been declared at Gowran on Saturday but he didn’t make the line-up from his place among the reserves. The likes of Dazzling Darren and Ruinous have been providing owner Darren Cahill with plenty of enjoyment and he begins with Delirious Love now, after a purchase of the Definite Article gelding in July. It’ll be interesting to see if there is any market confidence behind the eight-year-old. Gavin Cromwell has booked Conor McNamara for the spin. Not So Simple is going the right way after recent second placings. The safest choice might be CAPTURE THE ACTION though. The trip is much longer and the ground much softer but she’ll likely make a bold bid to follow up on Friday’s Gowran success. It’s never a bad idea to be with a mare in form like her.
