Thurles Race 7

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $533

BALLON DOR (5) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Bull Run Beast (29.75) in an A6. The form out of his last race has been franked. Capable of going well again. BLACK SHINE (6) wound up strongly to score two back then did the same last time but could manage only a placing, finishing on late when third (30.07) in an A6 at this track. Leading player again. BOGGER REBECCA (3) had been going along well winning an A7 three back then placing at this track before missing the frame latest when fifth (30.17) at this track. Expected to do much better this time. ACES YOUNG (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 3.5 lengths away in second (29.73).

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Others favoured this time.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 5th in an A6 on May 2 over 480m at this track behind Bull Run Beast beaten 15 lengths (30.17). Leading chance on best form.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A6 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.
