Monmore Race 7

Ladbrokes Gold Cup (Semi Final 1)

Prize Money: $1,437

WOLTEMADE (6) is a consistent type who is having his first try here. Scored in one of the quickest times on the card (28.48) latest, winning by a head at Monmore in OR1. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. The hardest to beat again. STRIKE IT SKYE (2) boasts a strong record this journey with 18 wins and four minors from 26 tries. Placed last time (28.67) at Monmore in a OR1, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Can feature in the finish. HEADFORD CIAN (5) could manage only second at Monmore last time but caught the eye when posting a powerful 28.48 over 480m at Monmore the start prior. Top win two back and can measure up again. GOLDCASH WARRIOR (1) has merit but will need to be at his best to take this out.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Monmore (28.55) beating Slingshot Poppy in a OR1 on August 8. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 480m at Monmore in 28.67. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.
