Monmore Bags Race 9

Dog Of The Month May 2025 - Coppice Hunter

Prize Money: $795

MAKE IT EASY (2) was an all the way winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 5 length third at this track (29.24). Won at her only start from this box. One of the contenders. CLUTCHINATSTRAWS (1) is in hot form after clocking a dominant 28.64 victory two back then followed up with a 28.82 win at this track over 480m last time. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. TROMORA FORCE (4) quickly into stride to win over the 480m at this track two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at this track last start. Winning chance. PHOENIX SYDNEY (6) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - in the mix again.
