SLANEYSIDE BOYNE (6) was never in contention last time after being shuffled back early at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (29.03) beating Midtown Ebony in an A3 on October 14. Tough to beat if on-song. CROOKS PEAKY (5) shapes well after a decent run last time, finishing second in an A4 at this track in 28.98. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. HOWAY SUAREZ (4) was below best last time finishing fourth at this track, but prior to that had been racing well including an A7 win two back at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. TIMONES STAR (1) followed a moderate sixth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time when starting 11m from scratch in a handicap, finishing fifth, beaten 9 lengths, at this track over 480m (30.37). Tackles another handicap here and will break 14m from scratch.
