IRISH HERO (8) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5½f at Laurel. Capable of playing a major role. HEAVEN'S GOT FIRE (1) was last at the races when he got the cash over 6f at Laurel (Dirt) on March 9. Rates highly and should take some beating. WOODLINE (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2 lengths over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. LITTLE ROO ROO (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Well placed to make amends.
