Monmore Bags Race 9

Chris's Birthday Stakes

Stake: $864

BLARNEY CASTLE (4) shapes well for this after winning last start over the 480m at this track in a dynamic 28.54. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. LONGACRES SMOKE (3) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (29.00) at this track. Yet to win here but has run some good races. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. AYLE BUCKS (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 29.01 beating Chubbys Coco. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. One of main contenders. MUSTANG GENERAL (6) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a third place finish (29.17) there the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong.
