BARNAGRANE ED (6) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only 1.75 lengths from the winner Crokers Eimear (16.44) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Makes plenty of appeal. PHARIS PEARL (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 16.25 beating Porthall Island. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can measure up again. PORTHALL ISLAND (5) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fifth (16.85) at this track in a D3. Can improve sharply here. GWAN KEANO (2) generally performs well over this distance.
