Cabra Noel set to charge into Puppy Stake final

CABRA NOEL bids totighten his grip on the Comerford Cakes National Puppy Stake at Shelbourne Park tonight. Graham Holland’s charge was brilliant in the three earlier rounds and looks a banker in the second semi-final.

Razldazl Will looks the one to beat in the opening semi, although his task isn’t quite as straightforward. He has pace to burn, but is prone to leaving himself with too much to do from the second bend.

Tonight he faces his stiffest test with five early-pacers in opposition so it’s imperative Razldazl Will makes a better start than normal.
