HEADFORD BUCKO (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when third (16.59) at this track. Overdue and is among the main hopes. CASEYS TIP OFF (4) finished fifth last time but just a few runs back pushed the clock when winning over 275m at this track, taking a D3 in a speedy 16.53. Has the ability and can find winning form again. DE MAN GOOSE (5) last start finished 5th over 275m at this track beaten 6 lengths (16.89) behind Kilbonane Pride in a D3 on April 24. Looks a key player on best form. LAST DANCE HOFFA (3) will be thereabouts after recent top-three finishes.
