CRISPY REMAINS FAVOURITE FOR BOYLE SPORTS LIFFORD OAKS

Peter Farrell

Despite suffering a surprise opening-round defeat in the BOYLE Sports Lifford Oaks, Droopys Crispy lost little in defeat and remains the 5/2 outright market leader ahead of this weekend’s semi-finals.

Barry Clancy’s star tracker showcased a brilliant turn of back-straight pace before being forced to check her stride, and one suspects she will bounce back emphatically this weekend. Next best in the outright market are the Pat Guilfoyle-trained duo of Magical Fiona and Magical Be Nifty, both chalked up at odds of 5/1. Gealltanas Grace was one of the surprise packages of the opening round, making every yard to post a rapid 28.55, and she is next in the betting at odds of 6/1, followed by Unassuming at 8/1. Interestingly, despite coming from well off the pace to record the fastest time of the opening round, Drumdoit Audrey remains available at attractive odds of 10/1.
