Shelbourne Race 3

525 Yds (A1)

Prize Money: $1,119

MEENAGH MINSK (6) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only a nose from the winner Frisky Ruby (29.17) at Dundalk. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from six starts. Deserves a win and gets her chance. BALLYEA BUCK (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 3 lengths away in third (30.34). Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. NELLYS TWINK (1) jumps from trap 1 for the first time after placing latest at this track (29.02) in an A1. Will give a great sight again. URBAN FLIGHT (5) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some superb recent form, including a two-run winning streak, but could only manage sixth (32.44) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minor placings.
