Monmore Race 4

Ladbrokes Summer Stayers Classic (Semi Final 1)

Prize Money: $1,437

VHAGAR (4) is a talented dog who hit the ground running off trap five and was never headed, winning (37.76) at Monmore in OR1 over 630m. Strike rate this distance strong having won 16 of 18 tries. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Expected to go well again. ZENITH PASHA (2) has an excellent record over this journey having never missed the placings in four starts, including three wins. In the money last time at Monmore (38.78) in a OR1, finishing a 0.9 lengths third. Can hit the frame with the right run. DROOPYS BOOKEM (1) was in the placings last time but prior to that produced a lightning 38.62 win over 640m at Newcastle. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. ONCEINA LIFETIME (6) is a last-start placegetter out of the same box - should be thereabouts.

Has been in great form, scoring four in a row before finishing third (38.78) last time at Monmore over 630m. Broke a four-start winning streak with the placing last time. Can bounce back.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 630m at Monmore. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 10 lengths at Monmore (37.76) beating Rapido Benny in a OR1 on August 8. Has scored nine times from this draw. Key runner.
