BOYLESPORTS DERBY – THIRD ROUND DRAW
Ian Fortune
The draw for the third round of the Boylesports Derby was made in the Champion Stakes suite at Shelbourne Park on Tuesday afternoon and it has predictably thrown up some very hot contests.
The name of Dashing Toro went into the draw after he was handed a walkover in the proposed run-off with UK raider Arthur Cornflake. His reward is a very tough draw in the last of the eight third round heats.
Ante-post favourite Bockos Diamond will again lock horns with Carrick Aldo in the opening heat where he is set to start a red-hot favourite, while his litter brother March On Freddie wears the stripes in an intriguing Heat 4.
March On Freddie will have to contend with the likes of Grangeclare Lady and Down To Business in the early yards, while Tuono Charlie, A Lucky Julie and Extra Gain will all be finishing fast.
The full draw can be seen below. The full form should be on-line this (Tuesday) afternoon.
