BALLYMAC GENIUS (4) failed to come into contention last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won by 3 lengths at this track (28.53) beating Fifis Lad in an A3 on November 17. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. DISTANT POWER (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (29.51) in an A2 at this track. Should be thereabouts. BLACKHEATH ELLEN (1) is in consistent form, jumping from this same trap when a 2 length third in an A2 at this track and making it back to back minors. Expected to feature. FIVE ALLEY ZENA (3) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can bounce back.
