Carlow Town can find the right tune to score again stepping up

CARLOW TOWN has won three times stepping back up from sprinting to four bends and is fancied to do so again when Tony Welch's charge lines up for Oxford's A3 over 450m at 4.07.

An excellent second in a D1 last week, he had previously been short-headed in a similar contest to today's and the fact that he looks set to dominate on the outside this time is a massive plus.

Kennelmate Melbury Galaxy is the other speed angle in the race but her recent profile is nowhere near as compelling and the selection is readily preferred.

There is double Friday Irish action with Morgan Crowley's Rivendell Pixie (1.12) capable of regaining the winning thread at Mullingar, while John O'Shaughnessy's Bettyville Coco (8.48) is an evening pick at Limerick.

Harlow has a morning/evening double-header with Sally Clark's Salems Sassenach (11.04) and Debbie Hurlock's Cofam Tiger (7.42) the respective main fancies, while Pete Harnden's Salacres Sahara stands out in a Towcester A6 contest at 3.41.
