Weekend betting tips: Four bets that could make you a fortune

The Super 8s continue this weekend with all four matches taking place at Croke Park.

Cork face Tyrone and Dublin take on Roscommon on Saturday, while Mayo clash with Meath and Kerry lock horns with Donegal on Sunday.

There's also plenty of horse racing action, with the Irish Oaks at the Curragh the pick of the action.

Here's our best bets:

The Tin Man 3pm Newbury Saturday 9/4

(PA)

The Tin Man can return to winning ways in the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.

He finished sixth behind the awesome Blue Point at Royal Ascot in his last run.

Dropping back down in grade here, he should take all the beating.

Iridessa 5.10pm Curragh Saturday 9/4

Iridessa enjoyed the step up in trip to 1m 2f when landing the Group 1 Juddmonte Pretty Polly Stakes last time.

The way she ran on in the closing stages leaves the impression that this further step up in distance will suit and she looks a rock solid contender for Joseph O'Brien in the Kerrygold Irish Oaks.

Wayne Lordan once again takes the ride having ridden her to her last success.

Dublin -14 handicap v Roscommon 7pm Saturday 10/11

Cork ran Dublin close for most of their clash last weekend, but the All-Ireland champions ultimately pulled clear in the end.

The Rossies lost by four points against Tyrone in their opening Super 8s game, but this is a much tougher assignment.

Expect the Dubs to pull clear once again in the latter stages of this game and win by 15 points or more with Diarmuid Connolly possibly making his return.

Kerry -1 handicap v Donegal 4pm Sunday EVS

There was a lot to like about Kerry's performance in their comprehensive win over Mayo last week.

David Clifford and Sean O'Shea were in top form as they scored 0-7 each, while Paul Geaney hit 1-2.

I can see them beating Donegal by a couple of points at Croke Park on Sunday.
