Monmore Race 5 - Ladbrokes Winter Derby 2026 Semi Final 2
SANTAS AMIGO (4) is having his first look at this track. Recorded his 11th career win last time out (28.46) at Monmore after drawing the same box. Yet to miss the placings in nine runs from this box, including six wins. Looks the testing material. GARY THE ARB (1) broke from this trap and proved too strong to claim a OR1 win at Monmore in the fastest time of the card. Leading player again. BOUNCING MONARCH (2) could manage only third at Monmore last time but turned heads when clocking a dazzling 28.74 over 500m at Sheffield three starts ago. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. KRANKY DRAKE (5) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR1 by 3 len at Monmore over 480m (28.15). Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money three on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.

Finished third last start over 480m at Monmore behind Gary The Arb in a OR1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. More than capable and has to be included.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 5 lengths at Monmore (28.46) beating Kilara Berb in a OR1 on February 7. Goes very well from this trap including six wins. Leading player.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at Monmore, before a 3 length third (28.57) over 480m at Monmore last time. Solid showing expected.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Monmore then finished third at his latest appearance in a OR1 at Monmore over 480m (28.62). In form but not keen here.
