BALLYGUR VERNON (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from eight tries. Recorded a one length win (29.71) in an A5 last time at this track. Expected to be in the finish. KILKENNY SAM (5) jumped from this trap and scored in quick time latest (29.67) at this track over 480m in an A5. Harder here but expected to feature again. BREAKAWAY HUNTER (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.20) in an A5 at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Worth following up. RAYS JET (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 0.8 lengths away in second (29.72). Racing well and deserves a win.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. Won't find this much tougher. Right in the mix.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A4 by neck at this track over 480m (29.64). Hard to tip with any confidence.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th in an A5 on March 25 over 480m at this track behind Tourrnareek Bolt beaten 14 lengths (30.20). Is a danger.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score in an A5 by 0.8 len at this track over 480m (29.67). Can make it two on the bounce.

Recorded a one length win (29.71) in an A5 last time over 480m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with three wins and two minor placings from eight tries. Makes strong appeal.
