BALLYMAC TABIA (2) placed last time (29.36) at this track in an A2, finishing second and beaten a head. Makes strong appeal on best. WORSBORO ICEMAN (4) comes off a (29.24) win last time, scoring by a neck in an A2 over 500m at this track. Can feature in the finish. HEADFORD MADAME (6) is a progressive type who recorded her 9th career win last time out (29.12) at this track. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. HEADFORD TADGH (3) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Needs to find a bit more.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 500m at this track in 29.36. Has a slick 27.71 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Missed the frame three back but has since scored back to back wins, the latest an A2 at this track (29.24). Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
