DONEGAL CIAN (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (25.50) last time in an A11 at this track. Rates on top in this line up. YOUNG HOFFA (2) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 2.5 lengths last start at this track over 400m (25.07). Up a notch this time but expected to measure up again. SMELLY NELLIE (6) carved over from wide out last start and boxed on strongly to finish 1.75 lengths away in third (25.18) behind Pantone Alley at this track. Has a win and two minor placings from three starts from this draw. Overdue and gets her chance. ELLAHA ROIS (1) warrants respect following a recent placing from the same draw.
