BALLYTAG AVA (1) is a last start placegetter in an A6, jumping from this trap and finishing a 5.5 lengths second over 500m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same box, including seven wins and 15 placings from 37 starts. Worth following up. PUNKROCK MERCURY (5) had been racing well with an A7 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. PUNKROCK ECLIPSE (3) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow second then scored by 1.5 lengths in an A7 last time at this track over 500m (30.13). This tougher but in form and expected to play a big role again. HAZELHILL MADGE (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 7 lengths (30.83) behind Camp Charlie in an A6 on June 1. Is a danger.
