Monmore Race 9 - Ladbrokes Gold Cup (Semi Final 3)
SLINGSHOT POPPY (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (28.69) from Box 5 at Monmore. Can go on with it. BALLYMAC BLANCO (3) beaten last start over the 480m at Monmore but finished in the minors in a respectable 28.90. Expecting another bold showing. AVARUA ZLATAN (1) comes here off a placing in swift time (28.81) over 480m at Monmore. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. GROUCHOS GREGOR (2) gave nothing else a chance most recently. Hard to beat again.
