£312,077 Scoop6 Bonus fund up for grabs in 3:00 at Sandown

One winner scooped just under £60,000 in last week’s win fund, setting up a go at the £312,077 Bonus fund. All that is required is to pick the winner of this week’s Scoop6 Bonus race, the 3:00pm at Sandown. Graeme McPherson’s Ask Ben has been teed up nicely for this valuable £100,000 race, after an excellent run at Cheltenham last time out. Good luck to the Bonus hunter and their selection.

The Scottish County Hurdle (2:05, Leg 1) and the Edinburgh National (3:15, Leg 5) make up the feature Scoop6 action up in Musselburgh. In the 2:45 at Wetherby (Leg 3), Caroline Bailey’s Boldmere looks well above average on the clock. Oliver Sherwood’s Dominateur appears to be the main threat. 

Tote spokesman Kevin O’Malley said: “Once again we wish good luck to our Bonus seeker in the 3:00 at Sandown. A competitive 17-runner affair, it will be no mean feat to pick the winner, but this Bonus has been rolling for a while now and it will be great to see it won.”

Of course, all eyes will be on Leopardstown this weekend for the Dublin Racing Festival. On Sunday, the Tote Jackpot meeting takes place at Leopardstown. Leg 6 of that particular pool will be the Irish Gold Cup at 3:30, where Kemboy, Delta Work and Presenting Percy lock horns in a mouth-watering clash. If there is to be a fly in the ointment in that contest, perhaps Chris’s Dream could poke his head above the parapet and express his claims to a Cheltenham Gold Cup bid in March.
