Takarengo^p⁴

11/4

Forecasts

Takarengo (11/4), Norwigi (10/3), Iridescent (4/1), Carrig Sam (9/2), Whatsyourstatus (15/2), Slige Dala (8/1), Glenquin Castle (17/2), Centurion Steel (12/1), Rebel Early (20/1), Fiveaftermidnight (20/1), Deadheat (28/1)

IRIDESCENT did well to score at Wexford last time given he was dropped back in trip and can defy a 9 lb hike in the weights now his stamina is drawn out more. Takarengo is weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of Slige Dala and Glenquin Castle.
