Gislebertus is fancied to land his 12th race of the year in the final of the Maiden Monkey Standard over 415 metres at Harlow on Wednesday.
Belinda Green’s runner racing over the longest trip he has faced led from the opening turn in last week’s heats to beat Whitings Gift by almost three lengths in 26.42sec (-20).
The son of Superior Product has sprinters pace and can soon build up a race winning advantage.
Connections of Whitings Gift will fancy their chances of reversing the form. Derek Knight’s runner found trouble on the opening turns last week and a better break would make things interesting.
Roger York’s Indian Trump timed his break to perfection last week when clocking a fastest 26.25sec (-20) and a similar break could make things interesting. While the same comment could apply to Jason Bloomfield’s Sink The Enemy, beaten just over three lengths by the York runner last week.
