Prize Money: $1,756

SALEEN RI (6) recorded his 3rd career win last time out (28.62) at this track and drawn trap 6 for the first time here. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be right there at the finish again. BALLYMAC SARGIE (4) boasts a strong record this journey with eight wins and nine minors from 22 tries. Scored by 1.5 lengths last time (28.61) in a OR3 over 480m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. HOWAY TONALI (3) produced a useful 28.80 when filling a minor placing over 480m at this track last start. Bold showing expected again. SLINGSHOT SHAZ (1) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at Sunderland, a continuation of some ordinary form. Others hold stronger claims.
