Affirmative action with Yup Isaid can pay dividends in Galway final

YUP ISAID was comfortably the fastest heat winner and should take plenty of beating in the final of the Book Your Xmas Party @ Galway A5/A6 525 at 9.06.

Marie McDonnell's unexposed bitch was opening her account at the third time of asking when powering to victory in 29.50sec (-20) seven days ago, scoring in the style of a greyhound destined to leave this level of competition well behind very quickly.

She may again have to bide her time but should never be too far from the action and can come through in the second half of the contest.

Earlier Galway picks are Paul Burke's Paradise Prada (8.18) and Pat Conway's Skirk Bud (8.32), while Veronica Drea's Pops Sophie (7.31) and David O'Neill's Chamberlain Ruby (8.43) can score at Clonmel's evening fixture.

The Friday Irish action starts early at Mullingar where the main fancies are Joe Campbell's Home Chase (11.13), Joseph McCabe's Lilly Hopper (11.45) and Rosaleen and Gerard Mooney's Rosards Swift (12.04).

Harlow has morning and evening fixtures with Debbie Hurlock's red-hot Whodoyoucolm (1.19) fancied to complete a four-timer at the early fixture, while Terry Nevin's Savana Boycie (9.09) can win over 415m this evening having landed a sprint last time.

The afternoon card is at Star Pelaw with Ross Miller's Freedom Ozark (3.41) set to pick up where he left off having won three in a row prior to a couple of awaydays for trials at Doncaster.
