BALLYMACODE DOVE (5) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a nose winner of a D4 at this track over 277m (17.06). Up a grade but in form and pay to follow up. EIRE MARKO (1) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at this track over 277m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Leading player again. BLACKWATER FIRE (3) struggled to get involved last start at this track, but prior to that won by a nose at this track (16.94) beating Olives Patchwork in a D3 on December 15. Worth another chance. WHATS UP CARMEL (4) placed last time out so worth considering.
