Monmore Race 9

Ladbrokes Puppy Derby 2026- Semi Final 2

Prize Money: $1,420

UNDERGROUND GOLD (4) was a dazzling 27.79 winner of a OR1 at Monmore over 480m last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. BALLYMAC SERVICE (2) is a well performed dog and winner of seven races who was in the minor money last time out at Monmore (28.13). Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in the finish again. NEWINN AERO (6) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in his fast 28.80 win at Monmore over 480m. Expecting another bold showing. BOWMERS BUDDY (5) is new here but can play a major role.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a OR1 by 0.8 len at Monmore over 480m (28.60). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Impressive on debut claiming an A2 at Monmore then placed finished 3rd in a OR1 on March 14 over 480m at Monmore behind Holding Blaze beaten 1.75 lengths (28.75). Handy form but this tough and place appears best again.
