Slaneyside can hold sway again to better tremendous sprint tally

SLANEYSIDE SWADE was inside the track record in calculated terms when making it five wins in seven last week and Kirsty Grayson's charge is hard to get away from in Doncaster's 7.58 over 275m.

Dropping back to two bends has been the making of him after he started his career with a couple of 450m defeats and he can add another victory to the tally before perhaps going on to better things.

Race of the night is the top division of a 450m contest at 8.16 which features Oaks heroine Butlers Lane although there is a strong case to be made for Tom Heilbron's multiple Category One finalist Unanimous Leon who opened his account for the year in style at Sunderland last week.

Other Donny fancies are Shaun Birks' Ballinabola Zoey (7.42), Debbie Calvert's Sole Focus (8.34) and David Fradgley's Bouncing Monarch (8.52)

Doncaster also has a morning meeting at which Sue Watson's Shots Fired looks good in a D2 sprint at 12.21.

Youghal holds the afternoon fort with the chief suggestion being John Kiely's De Lifeofriley who can power to a third career victory in eight starts in an A3 contest at 3.41, with other picks at the Irish venue being Liam Twomey's Witches Bonga (2.08), Ger Gubbins' Hollyhill Ralph (2.26) and Margaret Muldoon's Madgies Pet (4.37).

Pick of the races at Oxford this evening is an A1 contest at 7.31 in which Claire Conley's Jimmy One Shot may be capable of getting first run on some stronger types.
