Stick with improving Cashen Pedro

CASHEN PEDRO can land the opening heat of the second round of the Guinness Trophy at Curraheen Park tonight.

A full brother to Laurels winner Cashen Legend, Cashen Pedro was returning from a 10 weeks lay-off when beaten by the narrowest of margins in 28.72 and has room for improvement.

Mainistir Banlad, the fastest of the first round winners, can go in again in heat three . The selection was quickly away when carding 28.67 last week and his early pace can again prove decisive.
