Watch Pgr On Sky Sports Racing Stakes

Prize Money: $1,037

OPERA BOY (5) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (28.93) at this track. Tough to beat if on-song. ZENITH EFENDI (2) ran good time (28.61) winning an A1 three back at Limerick but missed the frame latest finishing fifth at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. BLACKHOUSEWALTON (4) recorded a one length win in an A1 last time 29.18 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Should be in this for a long way. SWIFT KIND (3) hit the frame latest (29.13) when third at this track in a OR. Has already won three times from this trap.
