ESSEX JEWEL (2) is down a grade after finishing sixth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in a D1 at this track over 261m (16.20). Will find this easier and looks tough to beat on best. TULLYMURRY DAY (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (16.41) at this track behind Longrange Rapid in a D2. Hard to beat again. SLANESTOWN BEAR (6) has gone well at his last couple of runs here, most recently when second beaten a neck (16.06). Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Winning chance. FAGANS PIKA (1) has returned in good style. Scored a D1 win fresh then finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, in a D1 at this track over 261m (16.06). Deserves another chance this easier class.
