BALLYMAC LIX (2) is generally an honest type in the frame at six of 15 starts but missed the placings last time when fifth (28.83) over 480m at this track. Goes well from this trap. Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. SOBER BARRY (4) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage third (28.51) at this track. Leading chance. DROOPYS MONK (5) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his scintillating win the start prior, getting around this track over 480m in 28.09. Top win two back and can measure up again. ROMEO ALLIANCE (3) bold run expected on best form.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 9 lengths (28.83) behind Slick Sanctuary in an AA0 on October 10. Was in the money three on end before missing the frame last time.
