STAR AND MONARCH FAVOURITE FOR DERBY SEMIS

Ian Fortune

There has been little change in the BOYLE Sports Derby semi-final market in recent days, suggesting the layers got the prices right.

Waitingforastar is warm order for the opening heat at 6-4 with Hackney Dancer his nearest market rival at 7-2. Coloursaregreen and Im Here are next in at 5-1, while Croydon Avenger is 6-1 from an ideal draw on the fence with the hugely talented Bockos Gold a 10-1 chance from a tough draw in five.

Of course, Bouncing Monarch has been faultless through the early rounds of the classic and is an odds-on chance to continue his winning ways in the second heat.At 8-11 some will certainly get involvedbut his nearest market rival Wi Can James is also set to attract support from an ideal draw on the fence at 3-1.

Low Profile (6-1) and Sleight Of Hand (13-2) are next in with the outside duo of Glengar Phantom (20-1) and Priceless Romeo (25-1) the outsiders of the field.
