Gowran Park Race 8 - Tote Race
SUMMER IS TOMORROW (4) proved popular last time out when finishing second in a similar event down at Navan. Only beaten a head and a neck last two starts and should get a third career win here. LEOPOLD THE FIRST (3) has been consistent in defeat finishing runner up providing his last four outings. Not beaten far behind a subsequent group winner over course and distance and should go close. The Amo Racing pair of BENEVENTO (1) and SPICY MARGARITA (6) both have similar chances as they displayed good promise early in their careers but have been highly tried and struggled since. Market will guide as to their chances.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 8th of 10 at Dundalk All Weather on April 23 over 2414m, 10 len behind Drucker with 62.5kg at $15. When resuming last campaign 7th of 9 at Longchamp in the LR PRIX DE LIANCOURT on September 4 over 2100m, slow going 11 len behind Victory Queen with 56kg at $17. Hard to have until the form swings in a positive direction.

First-starter by Vercingetorix out of War Of Athena. Tough to line up. Profiles well and worth watching for any market moves.
