Rural Pest set to claim second Juvenile title for trainer Holland
RURAL PEST can credit trainer Graham Holland with a second win in the Classic by completing an unbeaten run through the event to land the €25,000 final of the Time Juvenile Derby over 525 yards at Shelbourne Park (9.24).
Holland's Clona Duke was a 20/1 chance when landing this three years ago but Rural Pest will be uch shorter odds and justifiably so having passed every test asked of him in the event to date.
Fast trapping has been key for the all-round powerhouse and another slick exit shold do the trick especially with chief rival Ballymac Tibet likely to make for the inside immediately to the left of him in trap five.

Other Shelbourne fancies are Dashing Tom (8.03), Ballymac Stud (9.06), Phoenix Memphis (9.40) and Surprise Reunion (9.54).
