Shelbourne Race 5

525 Yds (A0)

Prize Money: $1,630

SOBER BARRY (1) is a talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has quickly put himself into the picture to win the last couple of runs. Last start won Kilkenny in a handy 28.61 beating Oriental Prince. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Hard to fault his form and makes plenty of appeal again. WALKABOUT JOHNNY (2) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from four starts. Recorded a 5 length win (28.61) in an A3 last time at this track. Can feature with the right run. DROOPYS WINSOME (4) hit the ground running last start and was never headed to land his maiden success over 480m at this track (28.62). Harder here but will be in this for a long way. BADMINTON CHOPIN (6) was a winner two back then strongly fancied last time but could only manage a third (29.22) at this track. Strong form has emerged from his last run.

Form slipped last start when he finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 7 lengths (29.11) behind Mutts Maximus in an A0 on March 28. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
