Roddick can serve it up to rivals in Kirby Memorial Puppy Stake final

The final of the Kirby Memorial Puppy Stake takes place at Limerick track tonight, and it is probably more open than the betting would suggest.

Clares Rocket is a short price to land the €80,000 winner’s prize following his 28.00 victory in the semi-finals, but he will need to be on his toes to clear Riverside Chip in the early yards. If the June pup can do so, he should gallop on to victory, but the there isn’t much value in this price.

Witches Belle has quite a bit to find on last week’s form, but she had a tough draw on that occasion, and is better boxed in three this time. With a clear run, her finishing kick should ensure she is heavily involved.
