Tonight sees the kingdom stadium host a smashing card of quality racing with the highlight of the meeting being the final of the donal j o neil sweepstake worth 4,500 euro to the winner hot favourite here will be the morty ahern owned manic brett who produced a top class display last week when winning in 28.80 on a slow track housed in trap 1 tonight if he can repeat his 3.06 split he should go on to do the business,tom bamburys rusheen champ and liam dowlings ballymac macy are his chief rivals and for me "macy" will give the favourite most trouble tonight he got a virtual solo last weekend and looked to be doing a right clock however when he passed the line the clock stopped at 29.20 to the amazement of nearly everyone in attendance he could be the one to upset the applecart tonight
also on the card the first round heats of the kasco "puppy" derby take place where some top performers will be strutting their stuff advertised for 48 runners and with 4500 euro to the winner it failed to fill and now only 24 line up for the reduced pot of 2500 euro
heat 1 sees the mighty fast kick for touch line up he looks a shoe in to take this one but the trap 6 berth may be his undoing and i wont be punting him at short odds tonight
heat 2 sees a clash of 3 top class runners with droopys teabag,cashen pedro and recent tralee sweep winner praematurus all lining up a slight preference here is for the "teabag"
heat 3 shane murphys wilcos macus looks the one to be on in this heat he was only 4 spots outside scarty lads track record in his last run around the oakview circuit and even though his stamina is slightly suspect i can see him turning in front here and i think that will be enough to take the spoils
heat 4 recent bar one favourite ballymac tony steps up in trip here and he should be well able to see out the trip and will be well prepared by my name sake johnny o sullivan,cahills bar in trap 1 could be the danger with a recent 28.55 run he could be in the hunt if turning handy but his trapping is too inconsistent for my liking preference is for "tony" to take this one
