BALLYBRAZIL ACE (1) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 500m (30.56). Top chance this easier line-up. HARDY BUCKO (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.77) last time in an A2 at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Leading chance. KINIELTY BEX (4) shapes well after a strong run last time, finishing second in an A2 at this track in 30.10. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. HONOUR VACATION (2) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (30.40) over 500m at this track. Looks a solid contender.

Started big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a sizzling early spilt before being grabbed late to finish third (30.34) at this track over 500m. Tested under these conditions.
