Two top-class horses who have displayed excellent winning form on this track--the Imtiaz Sait-trained Iron Age and the Sunderji-trained Kildare--will take on each other and three more rivals in the Republic Cup, the feature event of Friday`s nine-race card.
Iron Age has been excelling over the sharp sprints of five and six furlongs, and therefore, at first glance, it may seem like the trip distance of seven furlongs would be more favourable to Kildare who has recently won over that trip by a widening margin of eight lengths. However, it is the sheer power of raw speed that the Iron Age possesses which makes me feel that he can outpace Kildare from the word go, and outstay too. First race at 1 pm.
