Rascal can enhance reputation

STONE RIG RASCAL can enhance his fast-growing reputation by sweeping through the William Cummins Memorial Unraced Stake unbeaten at Curraheen Park tonight.

Bought for big money after carding a sizzling 28.31 on his debut a fortnight ago, Stone Rig Rascal turned in another top drawer effort when making it two from two in last weekend’s semis.

The selection was baulked at the opening bend last time but underlined his superiority in the back straight to win going away in 28.95.

Stone Rig Rascal is clearly a rising-star and can take this €4,500 pot en route to a tilt at the Cashmans Irish Laurels.

Lemon Podge reads the main threat. In the wars when second in the heats, Lemon Podge set the record straight in style last week, making all in 29.01.

He too looks a smart prospect but is drawn on the outside of Stone Rig Rascal and could find his way blocked at the opening corner.

Everyonewantsme looks the part in the Cummins Sports Stakes final.

She was having her first spin at this circuit and only her third in all when scoring unchallenged in 28.85 in the heats.

Everyonewantsme has scope for further improvement and can shrug off a trap three draw.

The fast-improving and well drawn Leeview Lleyton and 28.91 scorer Opera House rate the dangers.

Ace Top, always in control when notching his 13th career win in 28.91 last week, should go well from another trap six draw in the ninth while the progressive Tedso has sound claims from a rails draw in the tenth race.
