FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MASTER OF REALITY has been given a real chance by the handicapper and with Hugh Horgan taking an additional 7lb off his back, the topweight can make class count. The former Melbourne Cup runner-up(subsequently placed fourth) has proven ability in premier handicap company, as well as being a winner at Group 3 and Listed level. Killarney should really suit his prominent style of racing and he should prove a difficult horse to pass. Stablemate Herring Island is a lightly raced, unexposed three-year-old who literally could be anything. Although he lacks the experience for a race such as this, he could well be a group performer in the making. Dame Rapide has been one of the big success stories of the flat campaign to date and her rate of progress shows no sign of stopping just yet.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards that at entry have run three or more times under any Rules of Racing, at least one of those runs having been over a distance of ten furlongs or more on or after 1st July, 2021 (100 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
