Prize Money: $34,247

BALLYMAC BUDDY (2) scored by 1.75 lengths last time (28.69) in a OR1 over 480m at this track. Unbeaten in four runs from this trap. Expected to be in the finish. WOLTEMADE (5) has a strong record this journey here with three wins and a minor from six starts. Hit the frame latest (28.84) when second at this track in a OR1. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BALLYMAC SERVICE (1) was a fast winner last time with a dominant 8 lengths win (28.69) at this track. Should be in this for a long way. BACKTOYOURBEST (3) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Building a strong record, having yet to miss the frame including success at the last three runs. Winner in quick time latest with a 28.69 success over 480m at this track. Yet to be beaten in four starts out of this trap. Sure to go well.
