Slade Paddy, who was making his sprinting debut in the heats, can follow up last week’s polished performance in the semi-finals of the Peggy Kelly’s Islandbridge Sprint over 325 yards at Harolds Cross on Friday.
John McGee’s runner clocked a fastest of the round 17.44sec and another rapid getaway will make him hard to beat.
Tommy Bolton’s Iceroad Driver is the main danger after he made all to beat Nickys Assassin in the heats clocking 17.50sec.
Ronnie McKeown’s Catherine’s Drico is the pick in the second semi-final. He has top class Shelbourne Park form and ran well behind Slade Paddy last week.
Pat Buckley’s Ballymac Cable can use the rail to his advantage in the last qualifier.
The heavyweight Tullymurry Act dog won from the same box in the heats clocking 17.61sec and can again beat Bellside John.
