Shelbourne Race 4

600 Yds (A2)

Prize Money: $5,684

DASHING TOM (3) is a promising type who notched his 4th career success when too good (31.21) at this track last time. Ideally placed to take this out. BOYNE ROAD (2) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for three wins and three minors. Scored by one length last time (31.52) in an A2 over 526m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. RATHDANIEL RUTH (4) latest effort finished 2nd in an A2 on August 1 over 526m at this track behind DASHING TOM beaten 3 lengths (31.42). Suited here and expected to run well. RIPTIDE TROIKA (5) is a last-start placegetter in good time - worth considering.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just one length into second over 526m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by one length over 526m at this track in a handy 31.52, beating Town Kitten. Looks well placed and can measure up again.
