COCO FAVOURITE TO TAKE GOLD

Ian Fortune

After two brilliant displays in the past fortnight, Boylesports Coco has been installed the 15-8 favourite with Boylesports to land the Tote Gold Cup at Shelbourne Park on Saturday night.

The Dolores Ruth trained star has certainly strengthened in recent times and is looking more and more like the finished article.

From a kind draw in two, there is no doubt she has outstanding claims in the €16,000 to the winner contest. Ballymac Finn chased Boylesports Coco home in each of his last two starts and is seen as the main threat, sitting just behind her in the betting at 2-1.

Another Holiday, despite failing to win any of the three rounds to date, is the clear third choice in the market at 3-1 ahead of his kennel companion Deadly Style on 6-1. Lotto Other News has a kind draw on the fence and can certainly outrun his odds of 10-1, while Neon Nite completes the field. Despite running well in recent weeks, he is available at 33-1.
