Roscommon Race 3

Dermot Hughes Car Sales Novice Chase

Prize Money: $28,597

PIED PIPER (1) is a proven top class hurdler. Successfully transferred his ability to fences after landing back-to-back chase victories at Down Royal and Killarney. Consider. The G1 hurdle winning ZENTA (4) got off the mark chasing at Fairyhouse. Followed with a creditable third in a Listed contest at the same venue. Pulled-up at Punchestown latest. Key player. Both MINELLA SERGEANT (3) and MIDNIGHT MOONSHINE (2) are outsiders who need significant improvement to challenge the principals here.

4023m - 4224m

Comments
Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming finished third of 11 starters at Fairyhouse in the LR on April 22 over 4224m, slow track; 9 len behind Kiltealy Park carrying 74.5kg at $2.90. Second run from a spell didn't finish the race at Punchestown in the LR on May 2 over 4023m. Likely to make amends for the last start mishap.
