Shelbourne Race 6

600 Yds (AA0)

Prize Money: $34,426

LEMON ORLA (3) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths (32.30). Can measure up again. CALLAWAY KNEGARE (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (32.47) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance. GROUCHOS GREGOR (1) goes very well over this track and trip including three wins. Recorded a half a length win (32.46) in an AA0 last time at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. MYDRAS OPINION (5) was well supported last time but could only manage third (32.60), beaten 2 lengths. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Overdue and is among the main hopes.

Talented performer with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Continued the excellent form last start when he scored over 549m at this track in a handy 32.46, beating Lemon Hidalgo. In form and is right in the mix again.
