Monmore Race Fields - 27th Apr 2024

Given her season date, the likelihood is that LONGACRES VINYL (trap 6) will get quicker now and she'd not need to find much to rule the roost against these. Boogy Blu (trap 4) is expected to race with post season zest and make the selection graft hard. Homerun Hound (trap 5) may set his sights on top prize but it could well prove wishful thinking.

An early lead for LIGHT UP LUCY (trap 1) looks a distinct possibility in this field and that may be render this contest 'race over'. Noduff Flamingo (trap 6) recently had the pleasure of success and won't crumble under pressure. Ya Get Me (trap 3) is still a bit of an unknown quantity here, so is worth keeping an eye on.

If things go to plan, supporters of CROKERS BRANDY (trap 1) would be entitled to feel very hopeful that he can prove too good for this level of opposition. The early zip of Aero Claire (trap 4) is a positive, but the selection may ultimately prove too strong. Rebel Stream (trap 3) had a recent taste of success and shouldn't fail through a lack of effort.

While the odds on offer about UNCLE KEN (trap 5) may be on the low side, his chances look sky high against these and he is the one to beat. Skyfall Suka (trap 6) possesses the early game to lay down the law and keep the selection honest. The grader sends Ravenswell Bob (trap 1) off to work again with a medal chance.

BOGGER MURRAY (trap 3) recently hit the tape first and his fans won't be far off the mark if forming the opinion there can plenty more where that came from. Sporting Bandit (trap 6) will attempt to make every metre of the running but may succumb to the selection late. Ballymac Toddy (trap 1) was not out of place on the winner's podium recently and has claims.

It's not hard being drawn towards GLORIA DAWN (trap 4) here, in the expectation she enjoys a hassle-free passage and proves too good when it matters. Punters are likely to want Prestons Pride (trap 1) on their side again as he looks a serious player. Hyde Park Conan (trap 3) is often in demand and he may be so again.

It's hard to look beyond SEVEN KISSES (trap 2) in this field and she can rule the roost in emphatic fashion if things pan out as expected. Slippy Jane (trap 1) may respond positively to the grader's kindness and looks the obvious danger. The past record of Bruin (trap 5) from this trap is impressive, so he can't be dismissed lightly.

That recent victory will have done GLOBAL LAGOON (trap 3) the world of good and it may pay to side with a runner who has confidence on her side. Swift Goddess (trap 1) should be in there pitching at the business end and is rightly feared. The recent effort of Up The Anti (trap 5) is fresh in the memory.

There's nothing straightforward about this contest but CRACKAWAY OXO (trap 5) may just have a fitness edge over his rivals. Skyfall Diva (trap 1) has the talent to be a physical force and she is a serious player as a result. Crowvalley Megan (trap 3) is no mug and could be in the thick of things for much of the way.

On overall profile, it will be disappointing if COOLADERRY HABS (trap 2) doesn't make a meaningful contribution today and a winning run is anticipated. The recent win of Droopys Jessy (trap 4) was most welcomed and she must be feared on the back of it. Droopys Babble (trap 3) soon gets to grips with things but may not be able to get clear.

Don't expect a decent price about AZTEC EMPIRE (trap 3), but do expect a big run on the track and she can put these rivals firmly in their place. The chances are there's more to come from proven winner Pay It Forward (trap 2), so he is afforded big time respect. Astra Illusion (trap 1) recently bagged the gold medal and could be hungry for more.

The support can be relentless for KILARA HONEY (trap 2) and further backing may be forthcoming today and it's not likely to be misguided. Connections of Skyfall Effy (trap 6) recently enjoyed success and they'll be anticipating another big run. Hawk (trap 5) gets an easier opening but may still need things to happen.
