Six challengers for Soca Rhapsody in Gleneagle

The Harriram “Pepsi” Gobin filly looks the likely winner of this 1750 metres race, especially following a handy gallop over 1200 metres on Sunday last, which was clocked in one minute 16.0 seconds.

Biggest danger to the daughter of Market Rally/Soca Dancer in the $150,000 event could be the locally-bred Market Rally out of the John O’Brien barn and the rapidly improving Glorious Country.

There is a very interest sub-feature for horses rated 70 and over.

This 1300 metres extended sprint with seven runners including Quick City, Signal Alert, Slewjero and Intact should provide a very close finish.

A very attractive 10-race programme has been produced for turfites on Saturday.

Five races have been selected for the popular Hi5 betting — the second, fourth, sixth, eighth and 10th, for which there is a single winner bonus of well over $24,000.

Still the single winner bonus of over $255,000 await a winner in the Superfecta.
