Dunstall Park Race 6

Arena Racing Company Birmingham Cup 3rd Semi Final

Stake: $2,003

HEADFORD CIAN (5) has been in super consistent form recently with three minors on end before breaking through for an overdue win (28.58) at this track. Solid record at this trip including four wins. On top here on best form and expected to feature. KRANKY DRAKE (4) is in top form lately including an enormous win at Monmore in 37.77 two back then backing it up with a 28.56 victory at this track over 480m latest. Expecting another bold showing. GROUCHOS COSSIE (2) was unfancied latest when jumping from this same draw but belied the odds to place (28.86) over 480m at this track in a OR1. Expecting another bold showing. ALRIGHT BULLET (1) cannot be left out after placing from this box last start.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in a OR1 at this track. Sure to be in the mix again.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Towcester then finished third at his latest appearance in a OR1 at this track over 480m (28.94). Facing a difficult assignment this time.

Solid performance after racing on the speed to score fresh from a spell in a OR1 by 4 len at this track over 480m (28.56). Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 0.8 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 28.58, beating Betgoodwin Eddy. Can make it two on the bounce.
