Monmore Race 7

Ladbrokes Summer Stayers Classic 2026- Heat 3

Prize Money: $1,389

VHAGAR (5) jumped from this trap to score an effortless OR win at Monmore over 630m latest, winning by 9 lengths (38.20). Can continue the winning form. RAPIDO BENNY (2) is having his first look at this circuit. Strong winner last time by 0.8 lengths at Star Pelaw in a OR in one of the quickest times on the program (36.37). Likely to be in the finish. BONUS BULLET (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (41.91) last time out at Hove. Hard to beat again. INTRIGUING IRIS (6) deserves plenty of thought at her first run at this circuit.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 9 lengths over 630m at Monmore in a handy 38.20, beating Aero Boris. Has a very good strike-rate out of trap 5, scoring 12 times. Go close.
