€25,000 on offer tomorrow night

Big money is the order of the day tomorrow night in tralee with a benefit night In aid of the rathmore churches development fund there has been a massive effort put in by the organising committee and a massive crowd is expected
€750 is the smallest winning purse on offer and a big thank you has to go to all the sponsors who dug deep for the cause
The headline act on the card is the final of the mike cronin sponsored €14,000 Rathmore Churches Development Final worth €5500 to the winner this sweep attracted a top class entry and a smashing final looks on the cards
In trap 1 we have the neilus oconnel trained top jamella this fella caused an upset last week when flying the traps in a 3.04 split to win in 28.87 he will have to repeat this split again tonight to have any chance
Trap 2 houses the pat ferrick trained blazeaway honcho and he will be the likely favourite this fella has ran extremely well throughout the sweep and has to have a mighty chance
Trap 3 sees the first of the shane murphy trained runners in whitty john another that has been running well but will do well to beat blazeaway to the bend
The sole Kerry runner in the line up goes from trap 4 in the shape of lisa wrens ruby blooze this lady is lacking in the early stakes but comes home very strong and if there is any trouble in the race it will play right into her hands
Shane murphys 2nd finalist exor three goes from trap 5 this fella has been foot perfect so far and is the only unbeaten runner in the line up he has smashing early pace but the draw in 5 will not help his chances
Light shift goes from 6 and this lady is running out of her skin at the moment and has taken to the tralee track like a duck to water she did a flying time of 28.29 in the quarter final and a repeat of this run will be good enough she ran fierce well last week to qualify after meeting trouble early on but the trap 6 draw has done her no favours and she is one i will have to swerve
For me the winner will come from trap 2 in the shape of blazeaway honcho he has the draw to suit and i think if he can lead around the first bend he will take some catching
selection 2,6,4
Also on the card we have the final of the Munster joinery a3 worth €2600 to the winner a very tricky contest for punting but dilton swift would be my choice in this one after a brilliant 17.58 spin a couple of weeks back over the sprint trip he looked thrown in but it didn't go according to plan in the first round however he got back on track in last weeks semi finals winning in 28.93 a trap 6 draw does him no favours but i will plump for him to a very small stake
The open 550 on the night sees green heat going to traps in what looks like a handy pick up for him but i like the look of skehard son and at a price he might be a little value to turn over the hot pot
The open 525 on the night sees the laurels consolation winner cahills bar go from trap 3 but my fancy here is for evons murrali drawn all wrong last week in six he missed his break but ran well after just failing to qualify but i think he just could be the bet of the night
All in all it should be a great night with top racing on show and the parade of cashen legend and droopys noel should top it off nicely
