JOE FAVOURITE FOR CESAREWITCH GLORY

Ian Fortune

He may have suffered defeat and looked a little unfamiliar with his surroundings in the semi-finals, but Ballinabola Joe is still the one to beat in the final of the TIME Cesarewitch at Mullingar according to BOYLE Sports.

The Pat Buckley trained star is hugely fast and will look to burn his rivals off from an ideal draw in the stripes. He will have plenty of support at the 11-8 on offer. Durrow Star is seen as his main danger and is second favourite at 9-4. She was mighty impressive in the semis, when dipping under 33 seconds.

Born To Perform chased home Durrow Star in the semis and is next in at 7-2. If she is to reverse form, she will need to come away racing and contain her rivals into the bend. Flight Club got the better of Ballinabola Joe in the semis but is 5-1 to confirm that form.

The field is completed by semi-final winners Actindamaggot and Droopys Roar. The former is a 12-1 chance, while Droopys Roar is the rank outsider at 33-1.
