Havoc can shrug off poor draw

PATRONS can enjoy the best of both worlds at Curraheen Park tonight.

The decision to switch Wednesday’s programme to Friday means racegoers can enjoy the Derby final action at Shelbourne on Inter Track and also bet into the Dublin pool.

The Midweek A8 Stakes final forms the centrepiece of an 11-race card and Liberal Havoc gets the vote here.

This fellow got off the mark in style at the second attempt last week, making every post a winning one in 28.70.

Liberal Havoc has scope for further improvement and can shrug off a trap four draw.

Laidbackjack, denied a clear run when a four and a half lengths runner-up behind the selection last week, should again be thereabouts.

Riverstick Sunny and Droopys Miranda, separated by a head in 29.22 in the heats, also merit consideration.
