Monmore Race 3

Ladbrokes Winter Derby 2026 - Heat 3

Prize Money: $1,419

DROOPYS ALADDIN (3) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (28.45) at Monmore in a OR over 480m. Can make it two on the bounce. TEXAS JACK (6) placed last time (28.57) at Monmore in a OR, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Has already won 10 times from this trap. Can feature with the right run. TODDYS TANK (4) is a well performed dog and winner of 10 races who was in the minor money last time out at Monmore (28.54). Has never missed the frame from five starts from this draw, including two wins. Expected to feature. ARMAGH DAITHI (5) followed a unplaced effort at Oxford two back with a sound third, beaten 4 lengths, last start in a OR at Monmore over 480m (28.76). Strong chance this easier company.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at Newcastle, a continuation of some ordinary form. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
