Monmore Race 12

Ladbrokes Puppy Derby 2026 - Heat 6

Prize Money: $1,373

DROOPYS BUCK (5) won again in quick time after leading them home to make it two on end, scoring by 1.3 lengths (28.98) at Central Park over 491m. Won at his only start from this box. Can continue on with his winning form. BALLYMAC SHONTAE (6) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fourth (29.34), beaten 4.5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Better than last start and can bounce back. GORDON BENNETT (3) delivered an eye catching 28.61 to claim an A2 over 480m at Monmore last start. Expected to feature again. HEADFORD LILY (4) was below best last time at Newcastle (29.38) in a OR1, finishing a 7 length fourth. Already a winner from this trap.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 264m at Monmore. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.

Below best last start when he finished 5th on March 7 over 480m at Monmore behind Keefill Teak beaten 9 lengths (29.14) in a OR. Prepared to overlook.

Showed plenty of pace to win on debut won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Monmore (28.61) beating Sparta Kingdom in an A2 on March 5. Will find this much tougher but he should put himself in the race early.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only fourth over 480m at Newcastle in 29.38. Is a danger.

Has really found form with two wins on end, the latest in 28.98 over 491m at Central Park on February 28. Won at his only start from this draw. Top chance to make it two from two.

In the money two back then well backed last start but he finished 4th over 480m at Newcastle beaten 4.5 lengths (29.34) behind Backtoyourbest in a OR1 on February 5. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
