Harry can be punters’ friend

FRIENDSHIP HARRY, the fastest of the heat winners, can take the Tote Retention A5 Stakes final at Curraheen Park tonight.

The selection was quickly at the head of affairs when getting off the mark at the third attempt in 28.93 last week. Open to improvement and likely to benefit from a switch to the inside, Friendship Harry should take a deal of pegging back.

Mounteagle Chief, beaten by the narrowest of margins by Friendship Harry, should again prove the main danger. This one was having his first spin at this circuit last week and is also likely to progress.
