Monmore Race 7

Ladbrokes Gold Cup Semi Final 2

Stake: $1,514

JACKTAVERN CHIEF (4) is in hot form after clocking a dazzling 28.35 victory two back then followed up with a 28.54 win at Monmore over 480m last time. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back. ARDERA SAM (3) was a last start winner from the inside trap at Monmore and distance (28.22) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by 2 lengths. Rates a leading chance again. DA MIGHTY MAN (6) goes very well this trip starting 15 times for seven wins and three minors. Placed last time (28.49) at Monmore in a OR1, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. AERO PATTIKA (1) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at Monmore. Faces a tough assignment this time.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR1 by 2 len at Monmore over 480m (28.22). Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.

Has been in great form, scoring three in a row before finishing third (28.49) last time at Monmore over 480m. Had won three on end prior to the last start placing. Can atone.
