MARINAS PEARL (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (16.88) at this track. Should be very hard to beat this time. EIRE BULLET (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when second (16.77) at this track. Has a good record here including four wins. Expected to feature again. MONBEG PRINCE (5) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (17.07) in a D2 at this track last time out. Can improve sharply here. FRANCO BRIANNA (6) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.
