Shelbourne Race 5

525 Yds (AA0)

Prize Money: $410

BALLYMAC LIX (2) recorded a head win (28.87) in an AA0 last time at this track. Has already won two times from this trap. Expected to go close. THE OTHER MEL (3) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage fourth (28.99) at Curraheen Park. Got the money at her only try from this box. Has ability and can measure up. MAGICAL MAG (4) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (28.13) at this track in an AA0 over 480m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to her credit. Must be included in calculations. DROOPYS CROIA (1) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a head over 480m at this track in a handy 28.87, beating Glengar Blitz. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
