RACE COMMENT
DONEGAL LUTHER (4) looks close to a win off back-to-back placings, the latest at this circuit when beaten only 1.7m in a higher-graded race. Suited in this company and gets his chance. INVITATION ONLY (5) was a beaten favourite in his first outing for the Judd stable but still gave a sight, leading from a couple of spots wider and sticking on for third at this venue and distance. That was his first hitout for nearly two months and he should be better for it. ALTA SIERRA (1) started from the outside barrier last time so will relish the draw on the pegs having recorded two wins and a second in his previous three starts from low draws. OUTSIDE FIGHTER (3) has placed in two of his last three starts here and draws to be competitive again. NO DRAMAS (7) has been solid of late and could play a role.
