Takar can show his true colours

TAKAR, a major disappointment in the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh, can show his true colours in the Listed Glencairn Stakes at Leopardstown tonight.

The son of Oratorio was quietly fancied to run a big race in that classic, but never threatened to take a hand, struggling home ninth of ten behind Power.

Chances are, however, that the fast ground was all against the selection and, with lots of rain forecast, he is likely to be far more at home on this surface.
