YOUNG TIERNAN (5) had trap 4 and was game in defeat when only 2 lengths from Cunnigar McRae in second (30.22) at this track. Leading chance again. BALLYGIBBA SAM (3) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (29.04), beaten 6 lengths. AHERLA ROCCO (1) ran good time (32.90) when second last start over 549m at this track, the second placing in a row. Well placed here and should do much better. CARRIGMORE DANTE (4) broke from this trap and finished in the placings when a 5.5 lengths second in fast time (29.39) in an A1 at this track. Key player on best form.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Curraheen Park then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A0 at this track over 549m (32.90). Sure to play a big role.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing second behind Tyrap Malachi in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has run blistering time here with a 28.61 PB at the distance.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 503m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
