Monmore Race 8 - Ladbrokes Golden Jacket 2026 Semi Final 2
DROOPYS FLARE (3) is having her first look at this track. Comes here an impressive winner latest at Monmore in a OR1 in one of the quickest times of the program (41.09). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Sure to prove hard to beat. VHAGAR (4) comes here following a swift win over 684m at Monmore in 41.07. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BOMBAY NUTTY (5) was drawn trap five and flew the gates, leading until the final stages and holding on for a place (41.94) at Monmore in a OR1 over 684m. Expected to be in this for a long way. ROMEO EMPIRE (1) is a last-start placegetter as favourite - solid claims again.

In sparkling form lately having won five races on the trot. Well fancied last start won easily by 12 lengths at Monmore (41.09) beating Eagles Respect in a OR1 on February 7. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 684m at Monmore. Sure to be thereabouts again.

In the money at Monmore at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 684m. No easier here and looks up against it.
