Shelbourne Race 8

550 Yds (Aa0)

Prize Money: $533

DALEROAD DUKE (2) boasts a strong record this course with six wins and six minors from 18 tries. Missed the frame latest (30.85) when sixth over 503m at Limerick in an AA0. Looks suited and should go close. MAGICAL SAPPHIRE (6) is a progressive type who recorded her 11th career win last time out (29.67) at this track. Solid record here at this trip including seven wins. Capable of going well again. BLOSSOMS SYD (5) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 4 last time (29.10) at this track. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. COLOURSAREGREEN (3) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an AA0 at this track over 503m (29.66). In good form but this is tougher.

Was out of the placings last time over 503m at Limerick (30.85) in an AA0, beaten 15 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with six wins and six minor placings from 18 tries. Nicely placed and should go well.
