GAVINS CAKE (4) Ran home strongly last time at this track in 29.39s and proven runner at this distance. On a winning streak the last 2 runs and showing consistent performance in races. Looks to be in good shape and must go close today. CILL DUBH MINNIE (2) Claimed late when 3rd last run at the track in 29.42s. D S Davy has been training plenty of winners recently. Been in the money on multiple occasions this preparation. Top prospects against this opposition. SLID JOHN (1) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start here in 29.24s. Racing consistently this preparation. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. TAGALONG BUCKO (3) Looked outclassed when 6th last start here. Expected to rebound and back to an increased distance. Include in chances.
