Monmore Bags Race 2

Race 2

Stake: $750

AFTERNOONDELIGHT (3) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a nose (29.10) behind Speedy Dog at this track. One of the leading chances. SEVEN STARS (1) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (29.66) at this track in an A9. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. BLARNEY CASTLE (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Bits And Bobs (29.36) in an A9. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Must be included in calculations. MAGS BOLGER (5) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A9 on November 9 over 480m at this track behind Darver Spark beaten 2.75 lengths (29.66). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into third over 480m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A9 at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

Finished third last start over 480m at this track behind Speedy Dog in an A9. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has been racing well enough. Among the chances.
