Droopys Agassi holds the aces
Straight into action goes the star of the show, Cashmans’ 3-1 ante-post favourite Droopys Agassi, but Owen McKenna’s runner faces a ferociously tough opening heat. However, he is primed for action, a 28.69 runaway victory at Shelbourne Park last week testifying to the well-being of the 2002 Irish Derby finalist.
A ‘scouting’ mission in Cork on January 10 resulted in a flying 28.36 solo trial, but he will need a repeat with a host of smart performers queuing up inside him.
