The second division of this moderate event can go to MASSIMO DONNY. He'd been showing modest form before a much better effort when just a length behind California Rose at Bellewstown at the beginning of the month and, as the winner scored again at Killarney last week, he looks very well handicapped to gain his first success. The veteran Fit The Cove is in excellent form at present and ran yet another fine race when just behind Big Bad Billy Bob at Killarney on Thursday. He's certain to be competitive again while Wellmarked wasn't beaten far in a decent Polytrack handicap last week and is another who should be involved. Doublebarreljimmy ran easily his best race to date over this trip on ground with some give at Gowran in May and similar conditions here can see him improve on his two latest runs.
