Shelbourne Race 6

550 Yds (Aa0)

Prize Money: $26,490

SLEIGHT OF HAND (2) is a talented type who pinged the lids and cleared the pack early, leading throughout to a dominant win (29.34) at this track in AA0 over 503m. Superior out of the boxes and will be in the firing line early. Looks the testing material. MAGICAL FIONA (3) had won three starts on end leading into last time when strongly fancied but could only manage third (29.78) at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from three starts. Bold showing expected. JACKTAVERN BULL (1) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from five starts. Comes off a (29.62) win last time, scoring by a nose in an AA0 over 503m at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. BALLYMAC MALINAS (4) was well supported last time but could only manage third (29.66), beaten 0.6 lengths. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Ready to find winning form.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in an AA0 by 6 len at this track over 503m (29.34). Looks well placed and can measure up again.

Has been in great form, scoring three in a row before finishing third (29.78) last time at this track over 503m. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Leading chance.
