FormscanBy Michael Graham - Not an appealing betting medium. THE REAPING RACE ran on well to lead on the line over course and distance on his penultimate start. He was put in his place when next seen at Listowel when beaten 15 lengths into third, however that winner (Northern Emperor) runs in the preceding race on this card and a good effort would boost The Reaping Race’s chance. A staying trip and ease in the ground are what The Reaping Race wants and he ought to get both. Former point-to-point winner Mickey Shea has been placed in his last two handicap hurdles and should run his race. His five-length second to Warreedy in Ballinrobe reads better after that horse followed up in Galway.
