Monmore Race 4

Ladbrokes Summer Stayers Semi Final 2

Stake: $1,682

ROMEO EMPIRE (1) shapes well after a handy run last time, finishing second in a OR1 at Monmore in 37.88. Has the ability and expected to go close again. CLONA ICE (5) shapes well after a solid run last time, finishing second in a OR1 at Monmore in 37.99. Expected to feature again. TIMMYS HUNTER (6) finished in the minors last start over the 630m at Monmore but ran a sharp 38.39 last start. In form and looks a leading player again. ANTIGUA KESTREL (3) was well fancied last time on the strength of the win two back but could only manage third (38.12) at Monmore. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and three minor placings from 12 starts.

Got back early in the race last start when third over 630m at Monmore. Before that won comfortably by 4 lengths at Thurles (31.00) beating Da Real Madjack in an A2 on July 16. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Sheffield then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a OR1 at Monmore over 630m (38.31). Faces a stiffer test this time.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at Newcastle, before a 4 length second (37.99) over 630m at Monmore last time. Yet to win but has been in the money four times from five starts off this trap. Right in the mix.
