IRISH GIFT (1) is returning from a lay-off of 11 months. Finished 12th at Ballina over 6¼f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Daniel Bowen. Fitter for a fourth in a recent trial over 5f at Ballina. Rates highly and can return in winning form. NO RAGRETS (5) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 6½f at Ballina. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. KOBAYTERA (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 5f197yards at Grafton when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 0.7 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. INTREPID LAD (3) was fair on debut last start when fifth over 5f at Grafton. Tackles a longer journey this time. Don't underestimate.
