SLEEPY BALE (5) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (15.80) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Has winning claims on his best figures. SOLID STARLET (4) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from six tries. Placed last time (16.00) at this track in a D2, finishing second and beaten one length. Looks a key chance on best figures. SLANESTOWN BEAR (6) was a course and distance placegetter (15.78) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 3 length second in a D2. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. ESSEX JEWEL (1) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone.
