GREENWELL BOLT (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (28.95) last time in an A1 at this track. Rates on top in this line up. BALLYCIAN BOY (4) has a strong record this track and trip including four wins from five starts. Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (28.91) in an A2 last time at this track. Looks one of the chances. CAHERMONE BEST (1) is a promising dog in the frame at 29 of 69 starts including 17 wins and was a last start winner (29.37) over 480m at this track. Goes well from this trap. Rates a winning chance on best. SLINGSHOT LOUIE (2) hit the frame with a third two runs back then claimed an A2 by 2.75 lengths at this track over 480m (28.89) last time. Up a notch this time but in form and sure to give a good account.
