Prize Money: $552

HOOKY HANDICAP (5) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was an A4 winner two back at this track. Can turn form around here. SLANEYSIDE ETHAN (3) was a course and distance winner (29.49) last time also from the same draw, scoring by a nose in an A4. Harder here but expected to feature again. BALLYGUR DIVA (4) quickly into stride to win over the 480m at this track two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at this track last start. Can feature again. SNAEFELL (6) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts back but finished second last time (29.55) at this track.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at Enniscorthy then finished third at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.74), beaten 2.75 lengths. Going okay but this is a test.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 480m at this track in a handy 29.49, beating Ballygur Diva. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Has been in great form, scoring three in a row before finishing second (29.50) last time at this track over 480m. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at this track (29.83) in an A4, beaten 5 lengths. Goes very well at this track and trip, including six wins. Has ability and is a key chance.
