Student can pass test

STUDENT PASS, a beaten favourite last week, can make amends in the second semi-final of the Guinness Trophy at Curraheen Park tonight.

Owen McKenna’s eight-times winner fell out of traps when a close third in 28.87.

Student Pass previous impressed when registering a clear-cut 28.33 success and, well drawn on the rails, can recoup losses.

The ultra-consistent Mustang Okee posted a career best 28.51 last week and should again go well.

Goblet Of Fire is also on a retrieving mission in the first semi-final.

Paul Hennessy’s 10-times scorer was none to clever at the break when a four lengths third behind kennelmate and track record holder Fat Budgie in 28.50.

Fat Budgie is likely to find life more difficult from a five draw tomorrow and Goblet Of Fire, who is situated a couple of places to his left, can turn the tables.
